New Paltz, New York
New Paltz (; locally: ) is a town in Ulster County, New York, USA. The population was 14,003 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=United States Census Bureau )〕 The town is located in the southeastern part of the county and is south of Kingston, New York. New Paltz contains a village also with the name New Paltz. The name of the town is derived from ''Palz'' (pronounced: ()), the German dialect name of the Rhenish Palatinate, now a region of Germany called "Pfalz" (pronounced: ()).
Due to the presence of what is now the State University of New York at New Paltz, it has been a college town for over 150 years.
==History==
The Town of New Paltz was founded in 1678 by French Huguenots by both patent from the governor and purchase from the local Esopus tribe of the Lenape people. The Huguenots were religious refugees who had immigrated via Mannheim in the German Palatinate, where they had settled after fleeing France during religious persecution. They settled in the area of the present-day village of New Paltz (on what is now known as Huguenot Street Historic District) and established their own local government.〔(History of the Village of New Paltz ), Retrieved February 27, 2013.〕
The size of the Town increased with annexation from surrounding regions in 1775 and 1809. In 1842, part of New Paltz was removed to form the Town of Esopus. More of New Paltz was removed in order to form the Towns of Rosendale (1844), Lloyd (1845), and Gardiner (1853).
