About Beacon
Located in Dutchess
County, New York, Beacon is a city whose population was placed at a little over
15,500 during the 2010 US census. The city was so named as a way to commemorate
the beacon fires that were lit on summit of Fishkill Mountains to alert the
Continental Army about the movements of the British troops. Originally, the
city of beacon consisted of the villages of Fishkill Landing and Matteawan in
1709. These were also the first settlements in Dutchess County.
While the history of
Beacon can be traced to 1683, it was only elevated to city status in 1913,
amalgamating Fishkill Landing, Matteawan and a portion of the hamlet of
Glenham. Urban renewal in the 1960’s led to destruction of several buildings of
historic significance while in the 1970’s, a decline in economy led to collapse
of many factories and business in the city. Beacon started it’s ascend to
economic glory in the 1990’s, a growth which was sparked by construction of one
of the world’s largest museum, Dae. Other factors that contribute to the growth
of Beacon’s economic growth include Beacon Sloop Club which was established in
1978 with an aim of promoting environmental awareness of Hudson River, sound
ecological practices and recreation; various parks like Bannerman Caste Trust,
Hudson Highlands Park, Mt. Beacon Park and more as well as Beacon Theatre,
which is a community theater that is produced by 4th Wall Productions.
The transportation
network of Beacon is quite established and includes the county’s Loop
transportation system, the city’s shuttle service that runs on Sundays,
commuter service to New York City and Interstate 84 which also connects the
city to New York State Thruway, Taconic State Parkway and Stewart International
Airport.
The city of Beacon is a
historical center and this is evidenced by buildings which as almost as old as
the two villages. Some of the oldest buildings in Beacon include Madam Brett Homestead
(also the oldest in Dutchess County), Borgadus-De-Windt House (built between
1750 and 1830), Reformed Church of Beacon (originally known as Reformed Dutch
Church of Fishkill Landing and the oldest church in the city of Beacon),
Eustatia (a brick cottage built in 1867 in Victorian Gothic Style) and the
Howland Cultural Center which is also known as Howland Library, designed in 1872
by Richard Morris Hunt.
The city of Beacon is
governed via a mayor-council system. The council is made of six members, four
of which are elected from one of four wards while the other two are elected
at-large. The mayor of the city is voted for by the residents of Beacon.
