Kauneonga Lake, NY 12749
Local Government
Villages and/or Hamlets: Briscoe, White Lake, Kauneonga Lake, Smallwood, Mongaup Valley On March 27, 1809, by an Act of Legislature, a large portion of land was separated from the territory of Lumberland and designated as the Town of Bethel. North White Lake became known as Kauneonga Lake (the old Indian name).
Historic PlacesIn August 1969, the Town of Bethel became the equivalent to the 3rd largest city in New York state overnight by the Woodstock Festival---3 days and nights of peace, music, and mud. Approve of it or not, it was a unique historical event unlike anything before or since and is probably one of the most talked about in the history of the Town. Currently, there is a monument at the site listing the performers. Some area businesses have memorabilia for sale or to view relating to this event.
