Playground Upgrades
New pea stone has been put down under the equipment in both the Stuyvesant Landing and Stuyvesant Falls playgrounds.
A new pavilion has been put up in the Stuyvesant Falls playground. A step/ramp and benches still need to be installed but the gazebo is ready for years of use.
Thank you to the Highway Department for their hard work in this recent heat wave to get these projects completed.
From Our Historian...
Hello Stuyvesant,
The Town of Stuyvesant became an official township in April 1823. It was formerly a part of the 10-mile square that had been portioned as the Township of Kinderhook. It contained several Hamlets known as Kinderhook, Landing, Nutten Hook (or Newton Hook), Glencadia, Sunnyside and Poelsburgh. Stuyvesant Landing & Stuyvesant Falls replaced Kinderhook Landing & Glencadia. Nutten Hook was known as Coxsockie Station for a short time.
We have set-up a core committee who have been planning several seasons of celebrations for next year. Different locations thru out the Town. Tentative dates April, July, Harvest time, and December. With much program planning on going, we do not want to forget our yearly Historic Stuyvesant Day celebration. This is usually the second Saturday in August which is fast approaching, and we hope you will accept a format change.
Instead of our annual Historic themed picnic get together, the 2023 committee plans to make August 2022 Trivia month which will be posted on the Town Website.
This new feature “Did You Know” will be present thru out the month of August.
We will also celebrate Community Night on October 8th with another Vendor Fair & Cruise In. It will be held at the Town Hall from 3pm – 7pm and thee will be food, vendors, cars, music, and neighbors. Please plan to join us.

The town board, comprised of the Town Supervisor and four Council Members, is the governing board of the town. Some of the responsibilities of the town board include filling vacancies in town offices; providing for the hiring of such employees as necessary for conducting the town’s business; overseeing town operations; adopting budgets; fixing salaries of officers and employees; managing expenditures; establishing policies and procedures; enacting local legislation.
Members of the Public are encouraged to attend Town Board meetings. Please feel free to contact Board members with any questions, concerns or suggestions. Your input is valued.
If you have an item that you would like to bring to the Board's attention, please contact the Supervisor's office and leave a message for the Supervisor or a Councilman. You may request that your issue be added to an agenda for a future Board meeting. The Supervisor and all Councilmen are available to assist you in resolving any matter of concern for which you need Town assistance.
The Supervisor is the chief administrative officer of the town. He is the presiding officer at all meetings of the town board; a town legislator voting at town board meetings; town executive and administrator carrying out the decisions made by the town board; town fiscal officer, responsible for preparing the towns budget. In Columbia County, the Supervisor also sits on the County Board of Supervisors, which governs the entire county with population weighted voting.
