Established in 1806, the town of Wawarsing is located in the
beautiful Shawangunk Mountains in Ulster County. The town is
comprised of many small hamlets, as well as the village of
Ellenville. The abundance of mountain streams provided electricity
to run factories, and in the early 1900s, these communities were
flourishing. The Delaware and Hudson Canal opened in 1828 and
provided a venue for factories to transport goods. Following the
close of the canal in 1898, the Ontario and Western Railroad took
over, shuttling summer vacationers from New York City. The vintage
postcards in Wawarsing provide views of the Delaware and Hudson
Canal, the Ontario and Western Railroad, and a glimpse back to a
quieter time when the mountain and valley landscape provided
picturesque locations for lovely hotels and boardinghouses.
