About
The Village of Hoosick Falls is located in the Town of Hoosick, a rural community located in northeastern Rensselaer County. The Town has a population of 6,700 with 3,600 living in the Village. The Village is a bustling community with light industry, manufacturing companies, and a growing vibrant downtown with many shops, restaurants and eateries.
One of the area’s greatest resources is its scenic beauty. Rolling hills, mountains, and the two rivers—the Walloomsac and the Hoosic—which wind throughout the area, provide visitors and residents alike with breathtaking views and tranquil, private spots to enjoy the simple country pleasures of hiking, canoeing, or picnicking, and of course—spectacular trout fishing. In the Village, the tree-lined streets with their graceful, Victorian dwellings retain much of the character and charm of the turn of the century. The concerts by the Hoosick Falls Community Band in Wood Park still remind people why Norman Rockwell and Grandma Moses took inspiration from the area and its people.
