Kaatsbaan (meaning "tennis court") is a hamlet of Saugerties, NY, located in Ulster County, north of Saugerties and south of Catskill, NY. It existed at least as far back as the American Revolution. The origin of the name is possibly linked to the original Dutch visitors to the area who saw lacrosse being played by native Iroquois which they thought resembled tennis. The Katsbaan area northeast of the village was settled before 1730 by Dutch farmers from the Kingson Commons and Palatines from the "Camps" along the river in Saugerties. By 1732 the Palatine and Dutch settlers petitioned to deed Katsbaan to the Dutch Reformed Church and build a stone church. This church still stands today. It became a landmark on Colonial American maps along with centers of population.〔(Village of Saugerties: History. )〕 ==References==
