The Growth of Dutchess County in the Eighteenth Century When Dutchess County was first set up it was made dependent upon Ulster for civil administration. Ulster had been in existence as a civil unit for some time and had the machinery of government in running order and the connection between the two counties lasted until 1713, when Dutchess had acquired sufficient population to make it possible for her to conduct her affairs for herself. This state of dependency of Dutchess upon Ulster has frequently been emphasized in published accounts of the two counties but always without the companion fact that, some years after the connection was severed, Dutchess forged ahead of Ulster in population and became in 1771 the second county in the Province of New York. The omission has left behind an implication of inferiority that is untrue to fact and which in justice (not in contention) should be corrected. 27
