The Town of Coxsackie, Greene County is an
area of 36.9 square miles. The incorporated Village of Coxsackie is
located along the shores of the Hudson River.
It is one of the Hudson towns, second from the northern
corner. The Dutch were the pioneers of the section, coming in as early
as 1652, and settling on a tract six miles square, purchased from the
Indians.
The two main settlements of the present day are:
Coxsackie and Jacksonville. The former is the larger, having a
population of 2,121. It is also foremost in its industries having 10
factories turning out a variety of products.
Jacksonville is the only hamlet in the western part of
the town, and was in the lumber days a bustling village. From Hope Farm Press & Bookshop
In January 1662, Pieter Bronck entered into a
contract to purchase from the Katskill Indians a tract of land known by
the Indian name "Koixhackung". Choosing a site at the base of the
Kalkberg Ridge, Pieter built his dwelling, a small single room
structure with cellar and storage garret. The original massive beams,
wide floor boards, cellar hatchway, and early Dutch door still dominate
the interior. This house is the oldest surviving dwelling in Upstate
New York.
