Rondout's primacy as a shipping hub ends…
1872 CE
Rondout's primacy as a shipping hub ends with the advent of railroads.
These lines are built through Rondout and Kingston, with stations in each place; they can also transport their loads through the city without stopping.
A steam ferry connects Rondout with the Hudson River Railroad across the river in Rhinecliff;
a trolley connects Rondout with Kingston.
Rondout contains eight churches, (Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Episcopal, Lutheran, two Roman Catholic) and two synagogues; three banks, two newspaper offices, three public schools, several manufactories and about 10,000 inhabitants in 1872, when it merges with and becomes a part of the city of Kingston.
