The Dutch see important farming potential along the Rondout Creek and return to the area once more: the first recorded permanent settler in what will become the city of Kingston is Thomas Chambers, who comes from the area of Rensselaerswyck to the north in 1653.

The new settlement is called Esopus after the local Lenape people.
