Red Hook, in an earlier time, was actually known as Hardscrabble for a short time, and was actually a part of the current town of Rhinebeck, NY, a 15 minute drive away. When it had it's first inhabitants, it didn't have many. Rhinebeck allowed the town to exist under it's boundaries. But as the time grew, Rhinebeck saw that that part of town was growing bigger. Rhinebeck decided to split off this part of town, for Red Hook to be established. It's name is derived from Roed Hoock, the Dutch name for Red Hook. When the Half Moon went past the area, the island was turning autumn red in color for it's dense growth of sumac and Virginia creeper plants. And since the island Henry Hudson found nearby the town was hook-shaped, it got it's secondary part of its name.
