Athens, formed from Catskill and Coxsackie, is located on the Hudson near the center of the county. Although below the main ridges of the Catskills, there is limestone rock in sufficient quantities to be quarried and burned for building purposes. The banks of the Hudson are rich in a tenacious clay from which building brick is made, this latter industry being the main one of the town. Athens village, incorporated April 2. 1805, the only settlement of any size, had a population in 1920 of 1,844. The place was, until 1800, a large farm with two houses.
