About Ulster County

SUNY Ulster’s location is notable in American history, art, and literature. The Hudson River at the eastern edge of Ulster County played an important role in the American Revolution and in the development of the new nation’s commerce and economic development. The county seat, Kingston, was the first capital of New York State. The Catskill Mountains were the setting of many of the first great works of American art. The county has been home to many practitioners of all the arts—painting, sculpture, literature, music, theater, and film. In addition, modern companies and researchers are contributing to the economic development of the region.
