Discover Albany
The Algonquian-speaking Mohicans, who called themselves the People of the Waters That Are Never Still, lived along the river now called the Hudson and called the Albany area "the fireplace of the Mohican nation." To the west, the Mohawk, one of the Five Nations of the Haudenosaunee, controlled much of the fur trade and became strong trading partners of the Dutch and English. European fur traders may have visited as early as 1540.
More about Albany
Henry Hudson, sailing for the Dutch East India Company on the Half Moon, reached the area in 1609 and claimed it for the Netherlands. In 1614 Hendrick Christiaensen built Fort Nassau, a fur-trading post on Castle Island, the first documented European structure in present Albany. The fur trade stirred rivalry with the French in Canada and among Native nations. After a flood ruined Fort Nassau in 1618, the Dutch built Fort Orange on the mainland in 1624, both forts named for the House of Orange-Nassau, which led the Dutch Revolt. Fort Orange and the land around it were incorporated as the village of Beverwijck, "beaver district," in 1652, and the English chartered the city of Albany in 1686. Albany grew as a river port and fur-trading center at the head of navigation on the Hudson and later became the capital of New York State. Sources Wikipedia: Albany, New York
