PHILMONT

Columbia County covers 643 square miles, about 20 miles from the east bank of the Hudson River to the Massachusetts border. Philmont is located within the Town of Claverack, and the surrounding areas have a strong agricultural base and beautiful mountainous landscapes... Today, Philmont is a growing village. With its proximity to Hudson, New York City, the Berkshires, and the Adirondacks, the area is fast becoming a popular destination. Philmont is also an attractive place for new residents and businesses because of its village charm, centralized location, and economic revitalization... The Village of Philmont, incorporated in 1892 and once known as "Factory Hill" because of the number of wool factories, is home to approximately 1,000 residents occupying one and a quarter square miles in the heart of Columbia County. We're proud of our industrial history and engaged community.
