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.[4] Subsequently, a large portion of the patent was purchased by Dr. Samuel Staats, a surgeon of Dutch origins who resided in New York City.[5] He and Dirck Vanderburgh bought it for 130 pounds from Pawling's widow. As a result of the combination of their names, the area came to be known as "Staatsburgh".[6] The concluding "h" in the name appears to have been dropped in 1890 as part of theUnited States Board on Geographic Names' standardization efforts.[7]
