Ludingtonville is a hamlet in the town of Kent, Putnam County, New York, United States.[1] It is named for early settler Henry Ludington from Connecticut.
The building of Interstate 84 in New York resulted in the demolition of much of the historic center to build Exit 17 at Ludingtonville Road, but the Ludington Mill building remains and is the subject of a restoration project.
