Beacon’s Origin Why did they settle in this region? This area was a key location to develop a successful fur and pellet trading businesses. The Dutch were the original claimers to the Dutchess County region.

Transfer of Control In 1863, the Dutch were forced to sell the state of New York, including Dutchess County, to the British. Over time, the British gained a stronger control over the region as more immigrants moved to the area. Places like Dutchess County offered an opportunity of a fresh start for those that had been religiously and politically persecuted in Europe. Why move to America?

The Wappinger Tribe  The specific group of Native Americans that lived in Dutchess County and the city of Beacon were known as the Wappinger.  After they were forced off their land, some assimilated into white culture or sought living quarters elsewhere. What about the local Native Americans?
