TOWN
OF ESOPUS
Esopus traces its history to the original Dutch Colony established in 1659. The name Esopus is derived from the local Native American language meaning “land of flowing water and high banks”. Celebrated for the Esopus Spitzenburgh apple, the town is still noted for its productive fruit farms, maintains a network of parks and preserves, and is home to the 1838 Esopus Lighthouse, 1835 Perrine's Bridge. Esopus has included such notables as naturalist John Burroughs and human rights advocate Sojourner Truth.
As in the past, Esopus had a vision and carries on that tradition by looking ahead providing a new town Hall with geothermal heating and cooling. 52% of the power for the building is provided by our solar farm and their sun-tracking arrays which received the 6kC award from NYSEIA for the best ground mount photovotaic project for 2010.
