The
Hudson Valley stretches from Westchester County in the south
to Albany, the state capital, in the north. Generally, the valley
can be divided into three distinct regions:
Upper Hudson Valley: Consisting of Albany, Columbia,
Rensselaer and Greene counties, the upper Hudson reflects the
transition from exurban communities to rural, with an increase
in farmland and wide open spaces.
Mid-Hudson Valley: The central portion of the valley
comprises Dutchess and Putnam counties to the east of the Hudson
and Ulster and Orange counties to the west.
Lower Hudson Valley: Comprised primarily of Westchester
and Rockland counties, this region is marked by its urban affluence
thanks to its proximity to New York City. |
