The first location for Woodstock was in the town of Wallkill, New York, specifically on a 600-acre dairy farm owned by Max Yasgur. The site, located on the corner of Hurd Road and West Shore Road, was chosen for its spaciousness and rural setting, which was ideal for hosting the large music festival. However, due to zoning issues and local opposition, the festival was ultimately moved to Bethel, New York, where it was held in August 1969.
