Your first question may be ~ how do we pronounce Ponckhockie? The easiest way is to combine "ponk" (as in honk!) followed by the name of the ice skating sport called "hockey"; Ponk~Hockey!
We are located in Ponckhockie; a section of the City of Kingston (NY) that over looks the Hudson River at the point where the Rondout Creek empties into the river.
The neighborhood was the site of a British naval landing and attack during the revolutionary war when Kingston (then the capital of N.Y.) was "burnt and plundered". At that time Ponckhockie was not a part of Kingston.
The Ponckhockie Union Church (Congregational) is a historic chapel at the corner of Abruyn Street and Delaware Avenue in Kingston, NY. It was built in 1870, and is a rectangular, Gothic Revival style created with poured reinforced concrete. It is believed to be the oldest such structure in New York and perhaps in the U.S.
