The Battle of Stony Point, which took place in Stony Point New York, approximately 30 miles north of New York City, is the sight of a key Revolutionary War battle in July 1779. In a well planned and executed nighttime attack, a highly trained select group of George Washington’s patriot troops under the command of General "Mad Anthony” Wayne defeated British troops in quick and daring assault to regain control of the upper Hudson River. The British suffered heavy loss’s in a battle that served as a huge victory in terms of moral for the Continental Army. While the fort was ordered evacuated quickly after the battle by General Washington, this key crossing site was used later in the war by units of the Continental Army to cross the Hudson River on their way to victory over the British.
