History

The village of Hobart was originally named Waterville. When the modern village of Waterville, New York claimed the name in 1808, a new name was sought for the village on the Delaware River. In 1828, the name Hobart was selected, after Bishop John Henry Hobart, then the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, who founded St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in the village in September 1819. Bishop Hobart would visit the village again in 1827 before it was renamed. He planned to visit the newly renamed village of Hobart again in October 1830, but died in September 1830, before he could do so.

The Hobart Masonic Hall and the St. Peter’s Episcopal Church Complex are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Hobart is noted for being a book village with six independent book stores.
