TO THE PUBLIC.
It was the honest intention of the publisher to have issued this Directory long ago; but circumstances, which could not be overruled, occurred to prevent ; and during a tem- porary absence another party commenced on a similar work which caused us some little trouble and delay when canvassing among the private residences, as they had already given the names; of course explanations had to be given, &c. If we failed to get all the names it cannot be wondered at : still we have made very faithful efforts to make our book as complete as possible. The canvassers were universally treated with much courtesy, notwithstanding it was the second time the citizens were. called upon for a Directory.
Our thanks are tendered to the many who expressed themselves kindly in our behalf; and to those who have patronized us, it is earnestly wished that their little investment may bring them in a handsome profit.

This county was formed from Albany, March 7, 1809. It is cen- trally distant 20 mi. from Albany, and contains 221 sq. mi. The greater part lies between Mohawk River and Schoharie Creek,-one town only lying N. of the Mohawk. The surface consists of the Mohawk Valley and an upland, generally much broken by ridges and isolated hills, 200 to 350 feet above the river. The highlands are the northern continuation of the Helderbergh and Schoharie Mts. The underlying rock is generally the shales of the Hudson River group, which crop out in the valleys and the bottoms of the ravines. In portions of Glenville and Duanesburgh this rock is underlaid by birdseye limestone, from which are obtained both lime and stone for building. The greater part of the suface is covered with a thick deposit of drift, consisting principally of clay in the w. part and sand in the E. The rocks crop out on the banks of the streams and form the declivities of the steeper hills. The soil in the w. part is a tenacious, clayey loam, underlaid by hardpan on the hills, and in the E. a light, unproductive sand. The valley of the Mohawk consists of a deep, rich alluvium, well adapted to tillage, and extensively devoted to the cultivation of broomcorn.
The principal streams are Mohawk River, Schoharie Creek, and Normans Kil. and their branches. The valleys of these streams are generally bordered by the steep declivities of the uplands, rising to a height of about 300 feet. Many of the smaller streams have worn drep gullies in the loose drift deposits, giving to the surface a very broken character. These small streams are mostly dry in summer. The fine alluvial flats near Schenectady, entending 5 mi. w. on the s. side of the river, were called by the first settlers the " Bouwlundt." A. tract 2 mi. in extent, N. of the river, was called
22
SCHENECTADY APPENDIX.
the " Maalwyck ; " and a tract on both sides, 4 mi. w. of the city, was known as the " Woestina." A region immediately about Schenectady was called " Oron-uygh-wurrie-gughre ; " the hills s. were known as the " Yan-ta.puch-a-berg ;" and those on both sides of the river above the city were called " Tou-ar-e-u-ne." The streams of " Woestina " were " Verf Kil, " Zantzee Kil, and " Righelbrigh Kil." The valleys are best adapted to tillage and the hills to pasturage. Manufactures are chiefly limited to the city of Schenectady.
The great flat upon the Mohawk w. of " Fort Orange," and where the city of Schenectady now stands, was bought of the natives in July, 1661, in the name of Arent Van Corlaer; and settlement was commenced during the same year. It was under the charge of 5 . commissioners until Nov. 1, 1684, when Gov. Dongan granted a patent confirming previous rights and extending the territory. On the night between the 8th and 9th of Feb., 1690, N. S., the settle- ment-then consisting of about 80 houses-was surprised by a party of about 300 French and Indians, and nearly every house was burned. Sixty-three persons were killed, and 27 were carried to Canada as prisoners. The night was intensely cold, and the nearest place of refuge was Albany, to which a few escaped after much suffering. In 1702 R. Schermerhorn became sole trustee ; and in 1705 a new patent was issued, conferring tertain township privileges. On' the 23d of Oct., 1765, the place was created a borough, with the rights and immunities incident to these corporations. From 1726 to the Revolution the township of Schenectady sent a repre- sentative to the General assembly. During the war the village was fortified and garrisoned at the public expense, and many families from the Upper Mohawk sought protection here from the incursions of the tories and Indians. For several years after 1779 a large number of friendly Oneida and Tuscarora families, driven from their homes by the hostile tribes, were supported in this vicinity at the expense of the General Government. At the return of peace the settlement shared in the general prosperity. A new impulse was given to business by the improvements effected by the Western Inland Navigation Co., which enabled large boats to make longer voyages. Upon the completion of the Erie Canal the Mohawk navigation was entirely superseded. For several years after the completion of the R. R. from Albany in 1831, large quantities of merchandise were sent here to be shipped on the canal, saving the delay of the circuitous route and numerous locks on the canal between Schenectady and Troy. In 1832 a R. R. was built to Sara- toga, in 1835 to Utica, and in 1843 to Troy. I In 1849 several plank roads were built, which since have been mostly abandoned.
DUANESBURGH-was erected as a township, by patent, March 13, 1765, and it was first recognized as a town March 22, 1788. It lies in the s. w. corner of the co. Its surface consists of an upland,
23
SCHENECTADY APPENDX.
broken by the narrow valleys and gullies of small streams. Scho- harie Creek forms a portion of its w. boundary, and Normans Kil flows through the s. part. The hills that border upon these streams are steep, and in some places rocky. The other principal streams are Corrys Brook, Chuctenunda Creek, and Bozen Kil. Maria Pond and Featherstons Lake are 2 small bodies of water in the N. E. part, about 250 feet above the canal. The soil is principally a stiff, clay loam, with a slight intermixture of gravel. It is best adapted to pasturage. DUANESBURGH (p. v.) coutains about a dozen houses, QUAKER STREET (p. v.) 30, MARIAVILLE (p. v.) 20, and BRAMANS CORNERS (p. v.) 18. EATONS CORNERS is a hamlet. Large tracts in this town were purchased by different parties between 1736 and 1770, but no active measures of settlement were taken till about the time of its organization in 1765. During that year Duane, who had become an extensive proprietor, contracted with 20 Germans from Penn., of whom 16 came on and made a permanent settle- ment. The first church (Christs Ch. Prot. E.) was formed Aug. 3, 1795, and the church edifice was erected by Judge Duane. Rev. David Belden was the first rector.
GLENVILLE-was formed from Schenectady, April 14, 1820. It is the only town in the co. N. of the Mohawk. The central and w. parts are occupied by rugged and wooded hills abruptly rising from the valley of the river to a height of 300 feet. The E. part is nearly level. The streams are Crabbs Kil, Chaugh-ta-noon-da, Aalplaats, and Jan Wemps Creeks, and Verf Kil. The soil among the hills is a stiff clay, underlaid by hardpan, with an occasional out-crop of slate; and in the E. part it is a sandy and gravelly loam .. The Mohawk intervales are very fertile, and are chiefly devoted to the culture of broomcorn. GLENVILLE (p. v.) contains 2 churches and 20 houses, SCOTIA (p. v.) 2 churches and 266 inhab- itants, REESVILLE 12 houses and a broom factory, and HIGH MILLS 13 houses, 1 grist and 2 saw mills, and woolen factory. HOFFMANS FERRY (p. o.) is a hamlet and R. R. station. EAST GLENVILLE and TOWN CENTER are p. offices. Bridges connect this town with Sche- nectady and Niskayuna. Settlements were made about 1665, and were among the earliest in the co. The Sanders House, in this town, was spared by the enemy when Schenectady was destroyed. There are five churches in town.
NISKAYUNA-was formed from Watervliet, ( Albany co., ) March 7, 1809. A part of Schenectady was annexed in 1853. It lies upon the Mohawk, in the E. part of the co. Its surface is mostly upland, terminating in steep bluff's upon the river valley. The intervales are very rich and productive. A strip of land about 1 mi. wide, extending back from the summits of the bluffs, has a hard, clay soil, and a considerable portion of it is swampy and unfit for cultivation. Further s. the soil is sandy. WATERVLIET
24
SCHENECTADY APPENDIX.
CENTER (p. o.) is within the limits of this town. NISKAYUNA is a hamlet in the s. E. corner. The first settlements were made about 1640. The canal crosses the Mohawk into this town upon a mag- nificent stone aqueduct. There is one church (Ref. Prot. D.) in town.
PRINCETOWN-was formed from Schenectady, March 26, 1798. It lies a little w. of the center of the co. Its surface consists of a broken upland, gently descending toward the s E. The streams are .Normans Kil in the s. and Zantzee Kil in the N. The soil is a heavy clay loam, underlaid by hardpan, and is best adapted to grazing. PRINCETOWN (p. o.) is a hanılet. The town was chiefly conveyed to Geo. Ingoldsby and Aaron Bradt, in 1737. Wm. Corry afterward became owner, and formed a settlement, which was long known as " Corrysbush." The town was thinly settled at the time of the Revolution. The Princetown Academy, a Presb. institution, was opened here, on an extensive scale, in 1853, and was discontinued in 1856. There are a Presb. and a Ref. Prot. D. church in town.
ROTTERDAM-was formed from Schenectady, April 14, 1820. A part of the city was annexed in 1853. It lies near the center of the co., upon the s. bank of the Mohawk. The surface consists of a broken, hilly region in the N. w., a level intervale extending from the center toward the s., and a high plain in the E. The soil upon the w. hills is a tough clay, underlaid by shale, which frequently crops out. The central valley or plain, 5 mi. in extent, was called by the Dutch the " Bouwlandt." The soil is a deep alluvium. The E. plateau is sandy and barren. ROTTERDAM, MOHAWKVILLE, and FACTORYVILLE are hamlets. Settlements were first made about 1661. The first church was organized Aug. 29, 1800; Rev. Thos. Romeyn was the first pastor.
SCHENECTADY CITY -was patented, with certain municipal rights, Nov. 4, 1684 ; chartered as a borough Oct. 23, 1765 ; incorp. as a district, March 24, 1772, as a town, March 7, 1788, and as a city, March 26, 1798. Princetown was set off in 1798, Rotterdam and Glenville in 1820, and parts of Niskayuna and Rotterdam in 1853. It is situated on the Mohawk, and on the borders of one of the finest intervales in the State. A considerable amount of trade is carried on in the city by means of the canal and the railroads that center here; but the people are more largely engaged in manu- factures. The engine houses and repair shops of the N. Y. C. R. R. Co. are very extensive; and one of the largest locomotive man- ufactories in the country is located here. This city is especially noted as the seat of Union College. This institution was incorp. by the regents, Feb. 25, 1795, and received its name from the cooperation and union of several religious denominations in its foundation. A fund was first raised by private subscription to erect

the necessary buildings and to defray the expenses of opening the school; and this was increased by the avails of several lotteries authorized by the legislature, by grants of land and money from the State, and by private donations.
The first settlement was made in 1661. As this was an advance frontier settlement the compact part, at an carly period, was en- closed by palisades. In 1690 the enclosure was in form of an oblong rectangle, with gates at the ends. The people, however, felt so secure that the gates were habitually left open, and no guard was kept; and hence it was easily entered by the enemy on the memorable 9th of Feb. 1690, N. S. The lives of 60 old persons and children were spared from the massacre. The settlement recov- ered slowly from the disaster, and not until the close of King Wil- liam's War did it receive any considerable accessions. A new fort was built in May, 1690, which was garrisoned for many years. Another fort was built in 1735, and another in 1780. The old fort stood at the intersection of Ferry and Front Sts. The first church (Ref. Prot. D.) was organized in 1684, and the building was erected on the s. end of Church St. in 1685. It was burned in 1690; and a new building was erected, about 1702, on the site of the present church, corner of Union and Church Sts. St. George's Church (Prot. E.) was organized, in 1735, by Rev. H. Barclay, incorp. in 1766, and an edifice erected in 1768. The first mail was brought to the town April 3, 1763. The first English school was opened, under the care of Rev. Henry Barclay, in 1710. The Vale Ceme- tery Association was formed Feb. 25, 1838. The population of the city has slowly and steadily increased.
