Rondout
  collection of Dick Makse 
  Rondout was formerly a village, and in 1614 the Dutch established a settlement here. It is the river port of the city of Kingston, which was incorporated in 1872. It has extensive manufacturing interests, and has long enjoyed the largest river commerce of any point on the Hudson, except Albany. Several steamboat lines are operated here. The fleet and famous "Mary Powell" makes daily trips between this port and New York during the summer and early autumn. The large and commodious steamers of the Central Hudson Steamboat Companies Night Line, and the New York Central trains (by way of the Rhinecliff Ferry) all contribute to the increasing traffic of the Ulster & Delaware trains.
