Albany Post Road
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Albany Post Road was a post road - a road used for mail delivery - in the U.S. state of New York. It connected New York City and Albany along the east side of the Hudson River, a service now performed by US 9.
The rough route was as follows:
- US 9, New York to Ossining (split from the Boston Post Road in Kingsbridge)
- Old Albany Post Road and NY 9A, Ossining to Peekskill
- Sprout Brook Road and Old Albany Post Road, Peekskill to near Nelsonville
- US 9, near Nelsonville to Wappingers Falls
- Main Street and NY 9D through Wappingers Falls
- US 9, Wappingers Falls to Poughkeepsie
- South Avenue and Washington Street (partly NY 9G) through Poughkeepsie
- US 9, Poughkeepsie to Humphreysville
- NY 9H and Hudson Street, Humphreysville to Kinderhook
- Albany Avenue, Old Post Road, US 9 and Old Post Road, Kinderhook to Schodack Center, where it met the road from Boston to Albany
- U.S. Route 9/U.S. Route 20, Schodack Center to Greenbush, ending at "the ferry at Crawlier"
Minor old alignments exist all along the current through route.
