Grafton is a town in eastern Rensselaer County, New York, United States, not an independent state. It is located about 30 miles east of Albany, the capital of New York State, and is part of the rural southern foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. Incorporated in 1807, the town covers about 45 square miles, is sparsely populated, and is known for its serene natural beauty.
Grafton is known for its abundance of outdoor resources, boasting Grafton Lakes State Park, which contains several lakes and offers recreational programs such as fishing, boating, swimming, hiking and winter skiing. The area is heavily forested and ideal for bird watching, hunting and wildlife observation, and the overall setting is secluded for a vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
The economy is based on forestry, small-scale agriculture and tourism, with a simple community structure that retains some of its historic buildings and rural character. With a population of less than 2,000, the town has a slow pace of life and hosts small festivals throughout the year, such as the fall fair, reflecting the strong rural culture of the northeastern United States. Transportation is primarily by highway, with the New York State Thruway nearby, making it easy to connect to cities such as Albany.
