This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists pages that might otherwise share the same title. If an article link referred you here, you might want to go back and fix it to point directly to the intended page.
It is served by the New York Central and Hudson River, the New York, New Haven and Hartford, the West Shore, the Central New England, and the Poughkeepsie and Eastern (merged in the Central New England) railways, and by river steamboat lines on the Hudson.
Poughkeepsie was settled by the Dutch about 1698, taking its name from an Indian word " Apokeepsing," or " Pooghkepe-singh," which seems to have been the name of a waterfall on the river front.
Poughkeepsie was incorporated as a village in 1799 and was chartered as a city in 1854.
