Town of Beekman
 
Distance to NYC: 71 miles
Area: 30 square miles
 
The name Beekman became attached to the area in 1697 when Henry Beekman, a local Colonial land baron obtained a grant from the British crown. In 1737 Beekman formed its first local government. The original residents were said to be Wappingers Indians.
 
Beekman consists of the hamlets of Poughquag, Greenhaven, Clove Valley and Beekmanville.
 
Beekman has always been a rural area, it experienced its first "mining enterprises boom" in the mid 1800's through 1900's. The iron industry left a few remnants still visible, the Old Beekman Furnace can still be seen on Furnace Road.
 
Beekman is again experiencing a land boom. It is one of the fastest growing towns in the county.
 
Dalton Farms was once the summer residence of FDR's son and the new club house was the resident home.
