    Historic Churches

    Kingston is home to many historic churches. The oldest church still standing is the First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Kingston which was organized in 1659. Referred to as The Old Dutch Church, it is located in Uptown Kingston. Many of the city's historic churches populate Wurts street (6 in one block) among them Hudson Valley Wedding Chapel is a recently restored church built in 1867 and now a chapel hosting weddings. Another church in the Rondout is located at 72 Spring Street. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church was founded in 1849. The original church building at the corner of Hunter Street and Ravine Street burned to the ground in the late 1850s. The current church on Spring Street was built in 1874.

    Kingston, NY

    Kingston became New York's first capital in 1777, and was burned by the British on October 13, 1777, after the Battles of Saratoga. In the 19th century, the city became an important transport hub after the discovery of natural cement in the region, and had both railroad and canal connections.

    Kingston, NY

    The town of Rondout, New York, now a part of the city of Kingston, became an important freight hub for the transportation of coal from Honesdale, Pennsylvania to New York City through the Delaware and Hudson Canal. This hub was later used to transport other goods, including bluestone. Kingston shaped and shipped most of the bluestone made to create the sidewalks of New York City.

    6/5/2024 - Mayor Noble Announces Third Round of 2024 Paving

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    June 5, 2024

     

    Mayor Noble Announces Third Round of 2024 Paving

     

    KINGSTON, NY – Mayor Steven T. Noble and the Department of Public Works are pleased to announce that the third round of paving in 2024 will be:

    Elizabeth Street from Washington Avenue to Marius Street

    Wall Street from Greenkill Avenue to Henry Street

                                         

    Preparation in the area has already begun. Milling is expected to begin on Monday, June 24, 2024, with paving expected to be completed by Friday, June 28, 2024, weather depending.

    During the milling and paving operation, all vehicles must remain off the street. Once the paving process begins, access/egress will be denied until the blacktop cools enough for normal vehicular traffic, approximately three to five hours. Drivers are urged to use caution; the roadway will be uneven during the milling process making the surface subject to tripping hazards or tire damage. The road will be closed for the safety of all residents and pedestrians. Never move or go around barricades.

    Previously paved roads in 2024 include:

    Delaware Avenue from Broadway to Hasbrouck Avenue

    Jansen Avenue from Foxhall to East Chester Street

    Main Street from Clinton Avenue to Wall Street

    North Front Street from Fair Street to Washington Avenue

    Staples Street from Broadway to the dead-end

    Susan Street from Summer Street to the dead-end

     

    The next round of paving will be announced in the coming weeks. Paving season is expected to continue through October 2024.

    As part of the Wurts Street Bridge project, NYSDOT contractors will be milling and paving Abeel Street adjacent to the bridge on Friday, June 7, starting at 6:30am. Weather permitting, paving work should be completed no later than 6:00pm.
