Living in Poughkeepsie NY

Poughkeepsie Population (2010 census): 43,341 over 31.2 sq miles  

“Poughkeepsie” derives its name from a spring where Indians once gathered to weave lodges from the cattail reeds. These Native Americans called their meeting place “Uppuqui” (oo-poo-kee), meaning “lodge-covered”, plus “ipis” meaning “little water”, plus “ing” meaning “place”, all of which translated to “the reed-covered lodge by the little water place”, or “Uppuqui-ipis-ing”. Eventually, this evolved to “Poughkeepsie”.

Most of the town of Poughkeepsie is suburban. The City of Poughkeepsie borders the river and is wrapped around by the town. Some shops and restaurants are walkable around Vassar and Marist College.
