A Brief History of Catskill Family Resorts

From the late 1800s through the mid-1960s, grand hotels lined the Hudson River Valley, creating a golden age of glamour, elegance and entertainment in the vast natural beauty of the Catskill Mountains. Comparable to Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains, the luxurious, yet family friendly all-inclusive resorts offered a well earned respite from the hustle and bustle of life in the city, and were a favorite destination for families and couples. Historically, both the Poconos and Catskills were known for their family friendly resorts, mountains and river valleys. Today, the Catskills still offer an incredible destination experience in the majestic beauty of New York's Hudson River Valley.

Known as the first vacationland, many who traveled to the Catskills stayed for weeks at time. The region's close proximity to New York City and other urban areas created a hub of activity. Nightly events and entertainment included young up-and-coming comedians and singers, helping to launch the careers of Jerry Lewis, Joan Rivers, Neil Sedaka, Barbara Streisand and Woody Allen. In Greene County, traditional all-inclusive resorts continue to offer world-class entertainment and family fun for all ages.
