History
Beacon was originally settled as the Villages of Matteawan and Fishkill Landing in 1709, making them among one of the first communities in the state. The City of Beacon was incorporated as a city in 1913, annexing the two villages and a small portion of the Hamlet of Glenham from the Town of Fishkill.
The city served as a focal point during the revoluntionary war era. It was used for manufacturing of war supplies, as a fort, and as a signaling point. The city gained its namesake for the signal fires atop of the 1,540-foot mountain located in the city's backdrop. During the 1800s, the city became a factory town and was known as "The Hat Making Capital of the US." With nearly 50 hat factories in town at its peak, it earned this nickname. During the 1960's "Urban Renewal Program" many significant buidings were torn down, which damaged some of the city's character. In addition the Dutchess Ski area closed in the late 1970's which took a large tourist attraction and destination point away. The city continued as a factory town until about 1970, when a decline in the economy caused most of the factories to be abandoned. As a result of these losses, from about 1970 to about the later 1990s, the city entered its darkest age with 80% of its commercial businesses and factories going vacant. However in 2000 the city saw it's rebirth, which began in the later 1990's with the world's largest contemporary art museum, Dia: Beacon, making Beacon its new home. Currently, Beacon is striving to become the art capital of the state with large commercial businesses/art galleries, and numerous residential developments to support it's growth. Development projects continue to grow the city such as the city's two largest planned projects, a large waterfront hotel and conference center as well as "The Rivers and Estuaries Center" on Dennings Point. Both facilities will be LEED certified, showing Beacon's leadership in the GREEN Building industry.
Also from 1902 to 1975, The Mount Beacon Incline Railway, the steepest incline railway in existence (a 65% grade), took an estimated 3 million people up to the 1,540-foot summit of Mount Beacon. This tourist attraction was later destroyed by fire and vandalism. There is now a movement to restore it. Mount Beacon is a small mountain in the Hudson Valley region of New York State that overlooks the City of Beacon. ...
