Isaac V. Vanderpoel (1814 – March 25, 1871) was an American lawyer and politician. Vanderpoel was a Democratic party mainstay and from 1866-1869, had a law partnership with the eventual U.S. President Grover Cleveland.
He was born in 1814 in Kinderhook, Columbia County, New York, the son of Benjamin Vanderpoel. The Vanderpoel family was one of the oldest families in the state. Isaac's great-grandfather emigrated from Holland as early as 1609 and settled on Long Island, becoming one of the earliest residents of what is now the State of New York.
He was educated at Kinderhook Academy where his classmates and friends included the Isaac A. Verplanck of Buffalo and H. H. Van Dyck of Albany.
Vanderpoel studied law at the office of J. & A. Vanderpoel in Kinderhook. After four years, he went to New York City to complete his legal studies and was admitted to the office of Price & Sears, a well known firm at the time. In 1834, during the October term of the Supreme Court, he was admitted to the bar. Immediately, he moved to the town of Aurora, New York in Erie county where he became a partner of P. M. Vosburgh, who later became Erie County Clerk. After practicing in Aurora for two years, he went to Buffalo and formed a law partnership with Frederick P. Stevens, who later became the Mayor of Buffalo from 1856-1857.
From 1837 to 1845, he was appointed Brigade Inspector of the 47th Regiment of the New York State Militia during the Patriot War, by Gov. Marcy.
