The Town of Fishkill is nestled in New York State’s lush Hudson Valley, 75
miles north of New York City. Located in majestic Dutchess County, it is
bordered to the west by the Hudson River, to the east by Connecticut and to
the north and south by Columbia and Putnam Counties, respectively. It is a
town steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty.

Dutchess was one of the original ten counties in New York formed in 1683.
It was at this time when two New York City merchants named Francis
Rombout and Gulian Verplanck bought 85,000 acres in the county from the
Wappinger Indians. This land was rich in beaver, had fertile plains and a
stream flowing into the Hudson River that provided food as well water-
borne transportation. Dutch settlers named the stream Vis Kill, which means
“streams full of fish” in Dutch, with the area surrounding the stream coming
to be known as The Fishkills. The town of Fishkill was officially incorporated
in 1788.

The intrigue and charm of more than three centuries of New York history are
captured forever in the town of Fishkill and the surrounding area. You can
tour the Van Wyck Homestead Museum, visit the birth place of Franklin
Delano Roosevelt or stroll through sunny meadows and formal gardens
surrounding the elegant Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site,
overlooking the legendary beauty of the Hudson River.

History and gracious homes are only part of this beautiful area. There are also
a number of cultural and recreational opportunities to take part in. You can
grab your clubs and play a round at one of the areas 18 challenging golf
courses, take a hike on the scenic Appalachian Trail, or attend a minor league
baseball game at Dutchess Stadium. Don’t miss an opportunity to take in a
Broadway show at the Bardavon 1869 Opera House, or enjoy a performance
at the outdoor amphitheater at Vassar College.

In all, whether it’s a summer fair or a winter carnival, at Regency at Fishkill

you will enjoy the prestige, convenience, and renowned beauty of the Town of
Fishkill and Dutchess County.
