History

Summitville was once a busy transportation hub. The name Summitville is derived from the fact that the Delaware and Hudson Canal summit lies within the town of Summitville. Water runs downhill in both directions towards the Hudson and the Delaware Rivers.

Later the New York, Ontario and Western Railway (O&W) had a major station in Summitville. The O&W had a junction off their main line that led to branch lines heading to Kingston to the northeast and Port Jervis and Monticello to the southwest.
