Points of Interest

The Town of Poughkeepsie essentially surrounds the City of Poughkeepsie and is home to over 43,000 people. The name Poughkeepsie is derived from a spring, located south of the present courthouse. Located on the Hudson River, Poughkeepsie is one of the original towns of Dutchess County. The county’s first house was erected here by Peter Pieterson Lassen in 1688, where its footprint can still be observed in Bowdoin Park. Poughkeepsie is the home of two state-of-the-art hospitals, St. Francis and Vassar Brothers, both with heliport facilities.
