Hamlet in New York, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stuyvesant Falls is a hamlet in the town of Stuyvesant in Columbia County, New York, United States.[1][2] The ZIP code is 12174.[3] It was called Glencadia in the 18th century and well into the 19th century, the name having changed sometime after 1848.[4] The French or Scottish derivatives of Glencadia apparently mean a "creek region of simple pleasures, a paradise for animals."
The hamlet includes a substantial textile mill dating to 1827 and a hydro-electric plant. The word "Glencadia" is popular with local businesses and organizations, including the dairy Glencadia Farms, the Glencadia Rod and Gun Club, and Glencadia Dog Camp.
