The Catskills are west of the Hudson River and lie within the bounds of six
counties (Otsego, Delaware, Sullivan, Schoharie, Greene, and Ulster). They are
sometimes considered an extension of the Appalachian Mountains into Upstate New
York, although they are not geologically related. During the nineteenth
century, the region became a destination for those seeking vacation retreats
from New York City. The mountains of the Catskills and the lower Hudson Valley
inspired the Hudson River School of painters. In August, 1969, the
Catskills were the site of the infamous Woodstock music and art festival in the
town of Bethel.
