About Tivoli:

The region was part of the Schuyler Patent, a 1788 patent defining some of the towns and villages in Dutchess County and the Poughkeepsie Regional Area. The village was formerly known as "Upper Red Hook Landing." An adjacent community, "Madalin," was contiguous to Upper Red Hook Landing. The Village of Tivoli was incorporated in 1872, consolidating both Madalin and Upper Red Hook Landing. The village government sits in an old firehouse which was constructed by General John Watts de Peyster.

There are two major highways that traverse Tivoli. County Route 78 - former New York State Route 402 - is known as Broadway, Route 78 within the village. CR 78 ends at a ferry that brings you to nearby Saugerties in Ulster County. The second highway, New York State Route 9G, runs along the village border and has an intersection with CR 78.

The government of Tivoli is made up of five elected officials. They meet at the Watts dePeyster Hall, a now large part of the village. The hall stands over the village municipal campus and holds the village offices.
