History

Dutchess Mall opened in 1974 as the first mall in Dutchess County. The mall occupied a portion of a site once occupied by the Fishkill Encampment and Supply Depot, which has been listed on the National Register of Historical Places since Dutchess Mall's opening. The Fishkill Encampment was previously slated for conversion to a national park, but the plan was rejected. Original anchors of the mall included J. W. Mays Company and Luckey Platt, two local department stores; other major tenants included Flah's (another local department store) and Drug World (a pharmacy), as well as Radio Shack and Waldenbooks.
