Putnam County History
Most of the area comprising Putnam County was purchased from the Wappinger Indians by two Dutch speculators in 1691 for a “competent” sum of money. Six years later they sold it to Adolph Philipse, the son of an extremely wealthy merchant, and the land became known as Philipse Patent.
