| | Fishkill Landing--Part One |
 | | FISHKILL LANDING is beautifully situated on the crest and river-slope of the ridge which separates FISHKILL from the HUDSON, opposite the beautiful and historic city of NEWBURGH. |
 | | In 1811, FISHKILL LANDING had not acquired sufficient importance to merit recognition by SPAFFORD, but in 1824 that author describes it as a handsome collection of houses, with a postoffice of the same name. |
 | | In 1866 (Directory of Fishkill that year) it had three churches, two select and one public school, a national and savings bank, a printing office, one hotel, an armory, a large number of stores, a machine shop and foundry, and a population of about 1,550. |
