About Louis DuBois
Louis Du Bois was a Huguenot colonist in New Netherland who, with two of his sons and nine other refugees, founded the town of New Paltz, New York. These Protestant refugees fled Catholic persecution in France, emigrating to the Rhenish Palatinate and then to New Netherland, where they settled in Wiltwyck and Nieuw Dorp (present-day Hurley, New York, settlements midway between New Amsterdam and Beverwyck before ultimately founding New Paltz.
