Historic Places

The following information was provided by the Town of Plattekill

There were no civil organization of the lands which embrace Plattekill until after the Palatines settled in 1709 where Newburgh is now located. In 1710 the Precinct of Highlands was formed with the land limits undefined The organization of the territory remained the same until 1743 when three precincts were formed; Wallkill, Shawangunk and Highland. Highland Precinct embraced what is now Marlboror, Plattekill, Newburgh and New Windsor.

The precinct of the Highlands continued in existence until 1762 when it was divided into the precincts of Newburgh and New Windsor. The Newburgh precinct emcompassed what is now the city and town of Newburgh in Orange County and the towns of Marlboro and Plattekill in Ulster County.This was changed in 1772 when the new Marlborough precinct was divided from the Newburgh precinct. The precinct of New Marlborough, comprised of Plattekill and Marlboro, become a town in 1788.
