Coxsackie is a village in Greene County, New York, USA. The population was 2,813 at the 2010 census. The village name is a native word mak-kachs-hack-ing, and when purchased by the Dutch settlers was written as Koxhackung.〔() New York State Museum of Natural History, New York State Museum, New York State Museum and Science Service, Bulletin Issues 332-337, page 40. retrieved 9 July 2010 from Google Books.〕 It is generally translated as "Hoot-owl place"〔() Old Dutch Place Names from www.ancestry.com.〕 or "place of many owls". The Village of Coxsackie is in the eastern part of the Town of Coxsackie. ==History== The original plot of land was sold by American Indians to Pieter Bronck in 1661 for 150 guilders in Beaver pelts.〔() Collections on the history of Albany: from its discovery to the present time, By Joel Munsell, page 298. Retrieved 8 July 2010 from Google Books.〕 The lower part of the village was once called "Reeds Landing." In the late 19th century, this area contained several factories and a steam boat landing, now replaced by a waterfront park. The remains of the steam freighter ''Storm King'' still rest here, in the river just north of the park, where she sank at her moorings in the 1930s. She is still visible except at the highest tide or during flooding. Near this area in the early 20th century was a popular sandy beach that drew thousands of visitors on summer weekends. The beach eroded away after channelization of the Hudson during the 1930s, when deep water navigation was extended up to Albany NY. A ferry service connected the village to "Newtons Hook" across the river in Columbia County until June 12, 1938.〔(NY Courier (Newspaper), Page 4, Thursday, March 27, 1958 )〕 In 1947, the Coxsackievirus was isolated from an outbreak in upstate New York, and was named after the location where the outbreak first began, Coxsackie, NY.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coxsackie, NY and the virus named after it )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coxsackie (village), New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
