Staatsburg is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Dutchess County, New York, United States. The population was 377 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Poughkeepsie–Newburgh–Middletown, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area as well as the larger New York–Newark–Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA Combined Statistical Area.
Staatsburg is located in the northwestern corner of the town of Hyde Park and is bordered on the west by the Hudson River.
Staatsburg was part of the Pawling-Staats land patent, one of many granted by the English colonial government in the 1690s with the intention of encouraging more colonials to settle in the sparsely populated Hudson Valley. The original patent was made to Henry Pawling. Subsequently, a large portion of the patent was purchased by Dr. Samuel Staats, a surgeon of Dutch origins who resided in New York City. Hence the area came to be known as "Staatsburgh". The concluding "h" in the name appears to have been dropped in 1890 as part of the United States Board on Geographic Names' standardization efforts.
Staatsburg is located at 41°51′10″N 73°55′20″W / 41.852772°N 73.922102°W.
