Hudson Valley Real Estate is abundant with rich farmland such as comprises Stuyvesant, which includes the following hamlets:

Stuyvesant Falls – Formerly known as "Glencadia", the hamlet at a southeastern waterfall on Kinderhook Creek and was on the National Register of Historic Places. 

Newton Hook – In the southwest part of the town by the Hudson River - formerly called "Coxsackie Landing" because of the ferry connection to Coxsackie in Greene County across the river.

On August 13, 1841, Stuyvesant and Kinderhook celebrated the homecoming of former President Martin van Buren and his longtime friend and previous law partner, Benjamin Franklin Butler.
