History
Putnam County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York, in the lower Hudson River Valley. Putnam County formed in 1812, when it detached from Dutchess County. It is part of the New York Metropolitan Area. The county seat is the hamlet of Carmel. Putnam county was named in honor of Israel Putnam, a hero in the French and Indian War and a general in the American Revolutionary War.
My name is Terri and I am the host of the Putnam County, New York Genealogy Trails site. I am very excited to be hosting this site as I have been able to trace part of my family back to this County.
In time, I will be adding more information to this site and will post any information submitted to me. If you have any questions or comments, you can
