Peekskill is a city in Westchester County, NY on a bay on the east side of the Hudson River, right across from Jones Point. The first settlement was established in the early 18th century and by the time of the American Revolution, it became an important manufacturing center based on a number of mills along the several creeks and streams. Peekskill attracted a number of artists from nearby New York by building artist live/work studios and lofts. Peekskill is home to the Paramount Hudson Valley, once a 1930 movie palace and today a performing arts center.
