Established in 1788, the Town of North East is one of Dutchess County’s earliest towns and is named for its northeast geographical location. By 1870, Millerton was the largest and most important village located within the town. Today, the main streets have numerous beautiful homes that have been carefully maintained or restored to their original splendor. The business area today is lined with shops with long histories that offer unique and diverse merchandise and services. The Taconic Tri-State Park in the chimney is a popular attraction, as is the Hudson Valley Rail Trail.
