History

The hamlet was named after the Paul Smith’s Hotel (formally known as the Saint Regis House), founded in 1859 by Apollos “Paul” Smith as one of the first wilderness resorts in the Adirondacks. Paul Smith’s College was built on the site of the hotel after the hotel burned down in 1930. It was funded by the estate of Smith’s son Phelps, who died in 1937. It is the locale of Osgood Pond, home of historic Northbrook Lodge, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, and of White Pine Camp, the Summer Whitehouse of President Calvin Coolidge.
