Uptown Kingston blends a historic treasure of architecture with a dynamic multifaceted community. We encourage you to enjoy this unique atmosphere while you shop, dine, visit or transact business in the area, or visit online as we update our info and post events and happenings in this picturesque and interesting part of the city. The third oldest city in New York State and its first capital, Kingston retains its Dutch roots in a remarkable collection of old stone houses, including the 1676 Senate House, in its uptown Stockade Area. The KUBA mission is to provide leadership, foster trade and commerce and interface actively with the local government in efforts to promote Uptown Kingston as a viable place to visit, work and live. KUBA, Kingston Uptown Business Association, is a wholly voluntary, not-for-profit organization. By joining KUBA, you become part of a vital organization of volunteers who work hard to make a difference in the Uptown community.
