Woodstock was named after the town where it was originally planned to be held.
The festival, billed as 'An Aquarian Exposition: 3 days of Peace and Music' was held at Max Yasgur's 600 acre dairy farm in the Catskill mountains near the hamlet of White Lake in the town of Bethel, New York, in Sullivan County.
Bethel, New York is located approximately 43 miles southwest of Woodstock, New York which is in the adjoining Ulster County.
The festival officially lasted from August 15 through August 18, 1969.
Decades later the site was sold and is today the location for 'The Bethel Woods Center for the Arts' and 'The Museum at Bethel Woods'.
The center is still used today for music performances and the museum preserves historical pictures, videos and documentation of musical history in the area.

What did Jimi Hendrix do in 1969?
The summer of 1969 brought emotional and musical growth to Jimi Hendrix. In playing the Woodstock Music & Art Fair in August 1969, Jimi joined forces with an eclectic ensemble called Gypsy Sun & Rainbows featuring Jimi Hendrix, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, Juma Sultan, and Jerry Velez. The Woodstock performance was highlighted by the renegade version of "Star Spangled Banner," which brought the mud-soaked audience to a frenzy. 1969 also brought about a new and defining collaboration featuring Jimi Hendrix on guitar, bassist Billy Cox and Electric Flag drummer Buddy Miles. Performing as the Band of Gypsys, this trio launched a series of four New Year's performances on December 31, 1969 and January 1, 1970.
Why was the Woodstock festival significant?
The outdoor rock concert that took place in upstate New York (actually more than 40 miles from Woodstock, in Bethel) was not a symbol for anyone in the 1960s, simply because it didn't happen until August 15-18, 1969. It became, however, a symbol of the 1960s, especially of the latter half of the decade.The event was poorly planned. The weather was awful. Traffic was a mess. There weren't enough sanitation facilities. There wasn't enough drinking water or food. Two people died and two people were unexpectedly born. And 400,000 attendees watched over thirty of the very best acts in rock and roll perform live on stage. Regardless of its 'symbol' value, Woodstock was certainly a major event. In perspective, the largest sports arenas accommodate less than a third that many people.Woodstock stands as an example of the radical rejection of the youth culture of the time of the standards and structures built by their elders. It was rebel music presented in the least conventional venue available, under circumstances that allowed the maximum freedom to its participants. The use of illegal drugs and alcohol and the practice of casual sex are strongly associated with Woodstock.
