is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Ulster County, New York, United States. The population was 622 at the 2000 census.
Accord is located in the eastern part of the Town of Rochester along US 209. Accord is the seat of town government.
Originally named Port Jackson, it is thought that the name "Accord" resulted from a petition of the townspeople to the Capitol in Albany for a new name. The response was that the authorities could not come to an accord about a new name so the name "Accord" was chosen. The local pronunciation of this word is with a flat 'A' with the accent on the 'A' (ack-chord).
