== History ==
In the 1650s, Barent Cornelis Volge operated a sawmill on the Sawyer's Kill, supplying lumber for the manor of Rensselaerswick. The name Saugerties means "Little Sawyer" in Dutch. He had secured a title from the Esopus Sachem to this lands sometime before 1663.〔("Discover Saugerties", Saugerties Chamber of Commerce )〕 Volge likely left the area at the outbreak of the first Esopus War in 1658.〔("History", Village of Saugerties )〕 The "footpath to Albany" was not laid out until 1670.〔 In April 1677 Governor Edmund Andros purchased land of from the Esopus Indian Kaelcop, chief of the Amorgarickakan tribe for the price of a piece of cloth, a blanket, some coarse fiber, a loaf of bread, and a shirt.〔("History", Town of Saugerties )〕 The Mynderse House was built by John Persen, formerly of Kingston, an early mill owner, around 1685.〔
In October 1710, 300 families who had immigrated to England from the Palatine region of Germany established camps on the east and west side of the Hudson. The camp on the west side of the river became known as West Camp in the Town of Saugerties. They were sent by the British government to manufacture naval stores for Her Majesty's fleet. The villages at West Camp were called Elizabethtown, Georgetown, and Newtown.〔 Sawmills were established on the Esopus Creek. In 1998 a monument commemorating their arrival was erected on the lawn of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in West Camp.〔
Sometime before 1730 the Katsbaan area northeast of the village was settled by Dutch farmers from Kingston and Palatines from the "camps".〔 In 1732 they built a stone Dutch Reformed Church.
During the American Revolution, a British Squadron lay at anchor at Saugerties from October 18–22, 1777, while raiding parties burned Clermont and Belvedere, across the Hudson River. These were the estates of Margaret Beekman Livingston and her son, Chancellor Livingston. The British also burned sloops, near the Esopus Creek, and several homes and barns. While here British General Vaughan learned of Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga on October 17. On October 22, 1777, the British fleet had left from the Mid-Hudson Valley, never to return.〔("Saugerties History", Hope Farm Press )〕

Henry Barclay (1778-1857), was an importer from Manhattan who with his wife, Catherine (1782-1851) came to Saugerties about 1825. Barclay, who had business relationships with Robert L. Livingston, had a dam constructed on the Esopus Creek near today’s 9W bridge.〔(Shafer, Steve. "A short history of the Parish", Trinity Episcopal Church, Saugerties )〕 Around 1828 he established the Ulster Iron Works to produce bar and hoop iron. It had a capacity for manufacturing about 6,000 tons annually. and employed about 300 hands working round the clock shifts. In 1830 Henry Barclay built a paper mill powered by water from the Esopus Creek, which at that location had a fall of thirty-one feet. Barclay imported skilled workers and engineers from England to man his mills.
Upon Barclay's death in 1851, the mill was taken over by the Sheffield Company. The Sheffield Paper Mills, of I.B. Sheffield, manufactured writing paper. There were two buildings. They were rebuilt in 1860 by Messrs. White & Sheffield, and again rebuilt in 1868-9. The mills produced two and a half tons daily, and employed about 130 people.〔 William Sheffield built the Clovelea mansion around 1880. In 1888 Martin Cantine built a paper mill on the North side of the dam, and in 1903, the Cantine Company bought out the Sheffield mill. The Cantine mill closed in 1975. Part of the complex has been renovated as senior citizen housing.〔(Yasinac, Rob. "Sheffield Paper Company", Hudson Valley ruins )〕

Blue stone was used for curbing, paving, doorsills and windowsills: much of it in New York City.〔("A History of Saugerties (1677-1899)" )〕 The Ulster White Lead Company at Glenerie produced nine hundred tons of lead each year.
St. Mary of the Snow Roman Catholic Church was founded around 1833. Henry Barclay was a major contributor to the church for his workers.

A tug from Kingston hauled the steamer off the flats, and it was taken to New York City for repairs. In 1889 Robert A. Snyder, John and George Seaman, Henry L. Finger, and James and William Maxwell started the "Saugerties and New York Steamboat Company".〔 In 1892, the steamboats ''M. Martin'' and ''Tremper'' arrived at Saugerties at the same time, and collided near the lighthouse as each tried to get to the dock first. The steamboat ''Saugerties'' burned to the waterline in 1903 and the charred remains were scuttled in the cove north of the Lighthouse.

Many campers stayed and continued to party through the night when the rain subsided.
