 Chapter from Dutchess County History
Because of its topographical advantages, however, coupled with its adaptability to agriculture, Dutchess forged ahead of its neighboring counties and, during the latter half of the eighteenth century, became the second largest county in the Province of New York.
To be sure, Dutchess was slow to turn its resources to the common good; some of the leaseholds were similar in effect to manorial tenure; but there were pioneers who, eventually taking title to properties, gave the county the spark for progress which determined its advancement.
Although Dutchess was mapped out as a county in 1683, first legal residence in the county was not established until four years later under a land purchase from the Indians with confirmation of title by the Colonial Governor.
