Coxsackie

Coxsackie is a small community located on the west bank of the Hudson River, in Greene County, about 25 miles south of Albany. The area has a long history tied to the river and river trade, which played an important role in its development.

The village of Coxsackie retains several historic buildings and a downtown with traditional architecture, witnesses to its past as a commercial community of the Hudson Valley. Its name, of Native American origin, is associated with the Indigenous peoples who inhabited the area before the arrival of Europeans.

The Hudson waterfront is one of Coxsackie’s main attractions. The riverside area includes Riverside Park and the Coxsackie Waterfront, with green spaces, a promenade, and river viewpoints. The village is also known for its river access and its proximity to several natural sites in the Hudson Valley.

Coxsackie thus offers the atmosphere of a small riverside community, much quieter than the urban centers of Albany or Troy, while retaining traces of its maritime and commercial history.
