Kingsbury, New York
Kingsbury is a town in western Washington County, New York, United States. It is part of the Glens Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area. The town population was 12,968 at the 2020 census, up from 12,671 at the 2010 census.
A charter for a Township of Kingsbury was granted by King George III on May 11, 1762. It was named after a small parish on the western outskirts of London. Its first settler was James Bradshaw. Albert Baker arrived second, constructing a sawmill at what is today known as Baker's Falls. John Jones built a mill in the northwest corner of town. Following his death, Edward Patten purchased Jones' land and renamed the settlement Pattens Mills, a name by which it is still known.
During the American Revolutionary War, General John Burgoyne and his troops passed through the town after the Battle of Fort Anne. In 1780, Major Christopher Carleton led a raid that set fire to everything but the homes of Loyalists.
Charlotte County, of which Kingbury was a part, was annexed by the Vermont Republic in 1781. The following year, it renounced its claim to Charlotte County, and New York officially recognized the town of Kingsbury. In 1810, the settlement near Baker's Falls incorporated as the village of Sandy Hill, though it changed its name to Hudson Falls in 1910.
In 1823, the Champlain Canal was opened, followed in 1833 by the Glens Falls Feeder Canal. Major industry consisted of farming, milling, mining, and logging. Limestone was produced at Smiths Basin.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 40.0 square miles (104 km2), of which 39.9 square miles (103 km2) is land and 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2) (0.37%) is water.
Part of the western town line is the border of Saratoga County and the remainder is the border of Warren County.
NY 196 crosses the southern part of Kingsbury from east to west. NY 149 runs along part of the eastern town line and intersects US 4, which runs from Hudson Falls through the northeastern section of the town. The Champlain Canal, part of the NYS canal system, passes through the eastern part of the town.
