Pittstown is a town in Rensselaer County, New York, United States. The population was 5,735 at the 2010 census. It is in the northern part of the county.
A small part of the north town line is Rensselaer County's border with Washington County, New York. Moving west, the Hoosic River defines the town's northwestern line to the crux of its border with the town of Schaghticoke, which juts south to form the western town line. The towns of Brunswick and Grafton border to the southwest and southeast, respectively, with the town of Hoosick to the east.
The majority of the town is serviced by the Hoosic Valley Central School District while the southern part of the town is serviced by Brunswick (Brittonkill) Central School District, with a portion of the eastern part of the town serviced by the Hoosick Falls Central School District.
The town is one of the original towns in the county and was created in 1788 from a patent dated 1761.
The Coletti–Rowland–Agan Farmstead, Howard–Odmin–Sherman Farmstead, and Tomhannock Methodist Episcopal Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
New York State Route 67 runs along the Hoosic River, which defines the northeast town line.
In western Pittstown, a manmade body of water, the Tomhannock Reservoir, provides water to the residents of the city of Troy.
