The Rosendale Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1997
to promote business in and around Rosendale, New York.
The Town of Rosendale lies in the heart of Ulster County
which, in turn, lies in the heart of New York's historic Hudson Valley.
We're midway between New York City and Albany (the capital of NY),
and midway between New Paltz and Kingston (the first capital of NY),
exits 18 and 19 of the New York State Thruway (I-87).
Our 2000 Census population of 6,352 is up about 2% since 1990.

Rosendale's most historic claim to fame is as
the source of "Rosendale Cement",
used most notably in the foundations of both
the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty.
Cement was also the "foundation" of Rosendale,
and not just because of the broad seam of limestone under the ground.
The Town of Rosendale was carved out of three neighboring towns
with the specific intent of putting the cement region
into one political unit.
Among the points of interest in town are
the Delaware and Hudson Canal,
the Main Street business district,
the Natural Cement Historic District
(including the Snyder Estate and the Widow Jane Mine),
Perrine's (covered) Bridge,
and the 1895 Wallkill Valley Railroad trestle.
Area accommodations range from small bed&breakfasts
to larger inns and resorts.
