Krumville, New York

Krumville (also Kromville) is a hamlet in the southeastern corner of the town of Olive in Ulster County, New York. It takes its name from one of the most prominent of the early Dutch families who settled the area. Krumville is bordered on the northwest by the Olive hamlet of Samsonville, on the north by the hamlet of Olivebridge, on the southeast by the town of Marbletown and on the southwest by the town of Rochester. It lies at an elevation of 774 feet (236 m) above sea level.

The major commercial business in Krumville is the Country Inn,[1] a bed-and-breakfast/restaurant in what was once known as the Deer Park Falls House, a long-time boarding house and inn. The Deer Park (or Deerhaven) is a long, low gorge that drains into Beaver Lake and Beaverdam Creek below the Deer Park Falls.[2] The former Krumville Post Office was located nearby as was the Krumville Reformed Church, originally located in Samsonville and relocated to Krumville in 1873.[3]

Krumville is mentioned in Spalding Gray's Swimming to Cambodia and Terrors of Pleasure.
