Ulster County Information

As of 2007, the United States Census Bureau estimates the population of Ulster County to be nearly 182,000 people. It is the northernmost county in the New York Metropolitan Area, and is a premier destination for New York City residents who are looking to buy second homes.

Ulster County is located within the Catskill Mountains, and is home to a large part of Catskill Park and the Catskill Forest Preserve. Years ago, the Delaware and Hudson Canal transported Pennsylvania coal to Kingston via the Hudson River.

The old Ulster/Delaware Railroad runs through Ulster County, along what is now referred to as the "Rail Trail". There are attractions in the region that showcase the history of the railroad, including the Trolley Museum of New York, the Catskill Mountain Railroad, and the Empire State Railway Museum.
