***HAPPY BIRTHDAY WAPPINGER! Our Sesquicentennial Year – May 20, 1875***
Dear Neighbors,
On This Date, 150 years ago, in 1875, the New York State Legislature officially created the “Town of Wappinger” 🎉. Residents of what was then the northern portion of the Town of Fishkill petitioned the State to create its own separate Town.
Wappinger, the youngest and yet second most densely populated Town in Dutchess County has seen much growth, heroism, and success over the course of our history. On behalf of Town Supervisor Joseph D. Cavaccini, the Wappinger Town Board, the Office of the Town Historian, and all the officials and employees of the Town, Happy 150th Birthday Wappinger!!🎂
To further celebrate this special day all the Churches in the Town of Wappinger will be ringing their bells at 1:50pm today, we hope you get to hear them!
