It is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of Plattsburgh. Our area provides a beautiful lake, an array of walking and hiking trails, and a spectacular view of the Adirondack Mountains.

 

Since the discovery of Plattsburgh in 1785 by Zephaniah Platt, the War of 1812's Battle of Plattsburgh led by Commodore Macdonough, and the once known Plattsburgh Air Force Base, we are rich in military history. Our city takes great pride in all its historical museums such as the Battle of Plattsburgh Interpretive Center, the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum, the Kent-Delord House, and the Clinton County Historical Museum.

 

Located on the beautiful Lake Champlain near the Adirondack Park, we are home to approximately 19,000 people.  We have quick and easy access to our neighbors in Vermont, which is a ferry ride away and Montreal, Canada, that is only 45 minutes away.

 

Plattsburgh works closely with all its local and corporate businesses such as the Chamber of Commerce, Georgia Pacific, Bombardier, and PARC (Plattsburgh Airbase Redevelopment Corporation). We are also home to the State University of New York at Plattsburgh which enrolls approximately 6,000 students.  Our hospital, Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital is one of the finest regional medical facilities.  

 

With the help from all our city departments, services and industries, Plattsburgh works to ensure that our community stays healthy, clean and safe.  Plattsburgh is also known to own one of the largest lighting departments in New York State called Plattsburgh Municipal Lighting Department.    

 

Thank you for visiting our new website. I welcome you to visit and discover all the wonderful opportunities our area can offer. We hope to see you back soon!
