That town is.....Accord, NY. Accord is technically a hamlet that is located right in Ulster County. Accord was initially named Port Jackson and the name was changed after a reported petition at Capital in Albany. However, the most important question is...how do you say it?

Confusion about Accord, NY?

I heard some doozies when people were trying to say it. Someone said Accord like a Honda Accord and another person said Ah-Cewered (I'm not even sure how they came up with that one). The correct pronunciation a little tricky because of the spelling and it can throw people off.

How do you say Accord, NY?

The correct was to say is it (ACK-kord). ACK-KORD...one more time (ACK-kord). I'm sure if you live in Accord you are used to people having a hard time saying it correctly.
