The history recognized by the NHLD designation began in 1688 with the first colonial land grants and continues to the end of country house development in the area around 1940. It can be divided into several phases: the colonial era when only Clermont Manor stood, the post-Revolutionary period in the early 19th century when more houses were built in newer architectural styles, the later 19th and early 20th century when the area became less desirable by wealthy homebuilders, and the later 20th century when efforts to preserve and protect the properties began.

The Hudson Valley is one of America's cultural treasures. Threads of its rich and varied history is inextricably woven into the fabric of our national heritage. With its singular origins as a Dutch colony, its peculiar semi-feudal system of colonial government, its remarkably diverse ethnic population and its rigid class structure, the region holds a unique position in the settlement and social history of our nation. From its pivotal role in the Revolutionary War to its reluctance to accept a Federal form of government, from its towering republican heroes and creative geniuses to its imperious landlords and robber barons, the Hudson Valley has enjoyed a dominating influence in the developing American culture. It has experienced devouring periods of commercial expansion, yet it is still renowned for vernacular intimacy of its "sleepy hollows." The continued remarkable preservation of its traditional rural communities is as remarkable as the preservation of its aristocratic estates and gilded age mansions. These extraordinary country seats, joined with the sedate Dutch homesteads, rustic German tenant farms and industrious Yankee towns, create a landscape patterned with the evidence of human endeavor. All this is situated in the midst of sublime natural scenery, which inspired the world and launched American Romanticism. The Hudson Valley is truly a significant resource in the history of the United States.(Submitted on January 29, 2024, by Anton Schwarzmueller of Wilson, New York.)
