Most of the village land was “purchased” from the natives in 1684. At the end of the American Revolution there were only ten houses in the community.

The village was incorporated in 1806. Catskill is one of only twelve villages in New York still incorporated under a charter, the other villages having incorporated or re-incorporated under the provisions of Village Law.

Martin van Buren was married in the village. John Adams, congressman from New York, died here.
