Modena is a hamlet in Ulster County, New York, United States. It is located in the northwestern corner of the town of Plattekill, centered at the junction of the US 44/NY 55 concurrency and NY 32.
History
The area was first settled in the late 17th century and was originally called "Clark's Corner". The name was changed to Modena in 1829,[1] and the hamlet most likely was named for the Italian city of Modena.[2][3]
It has long been a primarily rural community with minimal development, although that has been changing enough for Hannaford to build one of its supermarkets on Route 32 just south of the junction.
The Cole-Hasbrouck Farm Historic District and Thaddeus Hait Farm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
