The population was 14,003 at the 2010 census.[2] The town is located in the southeastern part of the county and is south of Kingston. New Paltz contains a village also with the name New Paltz. The town is named for Palz ({{IPA-dedia|ˈpalts}}), the dialect name of the Palatinate, called Pfalz ({{IPA-de|ˈpfalts|IPA|De-Pfalz.ogg}}) in standard German. Due to the presence of what is now the State University of New York at New Paltz, it has been a college town for over 150 years. HistoryThe town of New Paltz was founded in 1678 by French Huguenots by both patent from the governor and purchase from the local Esopus tribe of the Lenape people. The Huguenots were religious refugees who had immigrated via Mannheim in the German Palatinate, where they had settled after fleeing France during religious persecution. They settled in the area of the present-day village of New Paltz (on what is now known as Huguenot Street Historic District) and established their own local government.[3] The size of the town increased with annexation from surrounding regions in 1775 and 1809. In 1842, part of New Paltz was removed to form the Town of Esopus. More of New Paltz was removed in order to form the towns of Rosendale (1844), Lloyd (1845), and Gardiner (1853).{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} GeographyThe Wallkill River flows northward through New Paltz on its way to join the Rondout Creek, which in turn feeds into the Hudson River. A portion of the Shawangunk Ridge is in the town. TransportationNew Paltz is accessible by a number of different roads. Interstate 87 (the New York State Thruway) is the main thoroughfare and passes through in the eastern part and houses Exit 18 for Route 299.

EducationNew Paltz has 4 public schools, K-12 and is home to a college in the SUNY system.
