Brown's Station, New York

Brown's Station was a hamlet in the Esopus Valley of southeastern Ulster County, New York, United States.

Brown's Station was a popular spot, especially for vacationers from New York City, who would come to swim in the creeks, and to enjoy rafting (using rubber inner tubes), boating, and fishing.

The depot at Brown's Station was an instrument of its own demise; shipments of cement were transported there for use in the construction of the Ashokan Reservoir.

Having already impounded part of the nearby Croton River and most of its tributaries, agents of the City of New York surveyed a number of places to build another reservoir.

In the 1950s, letters to Paula Cohen, a nearby resident, were still addressed to Brown Station.
