Rondout Light is a lighthouse on the west side of the Hudson River at Kingston, New York.^[2]^[3]^[4]

Nomenclature

The official name in the Coast Guard Light List is Rondout Creek Leading Light.^[2]
The National Register name, Kingston/Rondout 2 Lighthouse comes from its location in a series of day beacons and lights in Rondout Creek. Number 2 is the first on the right hand side.^[2]
The USCG history site calls it Rondout Creek (Kingston) Light.^[3]

History

The first lighthouse at the entrance to the Rondout Creek was a wooden one built in 1837. It was replaced by a second lighthouse, made of sturdier bluestone, in 1867. The bluestone lighthouse was abandoned after 1915 and torn down in the 1950s. Only its circular stone foundation remains today.^[5]

The current lighthouse was built in 1915, replacing the earlier 1867 lighthouse. In 1954 the light was automated and the building closed.^[5] The National Historic Lighthouse Preservation Act provides for the Coast Guard to declare some lighthouses surplus, and for their ownership to be transferred to historical, non-profit or local government entities following an application process and review. Nine lighthouses were identified in the fall of 2001 as part of a pilot program to transfer such lighthouses. Rondout Light was one of those nine.^[6] Rondout Light was transferred from the Coast Guard to the City of Kingston in 2002.^[7] It is currently managed by the non-profit Hudson River Maritime Museum.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.^[1]^[8]
