“Lost Industries of Albany County” describes the manufacturing history of Albany County, New York in the years following the Industrial Revolution until the Great Depression, focusing on the cities of Albany, Watervliet, Cohoes, and several villages within the county.
The Capital District was considered the “Gateway to the West” early in the nation’s history because the Mohawk Valley provided the easiest way to reach Buffalo, the Great Lakes, and the western states. Some of the country’s earliest industrial endeavors were established in the Capital Region because it was settled in the early 1600s and was directly accessible to New York City via the Hudson River.
All of the county’s major manufacturing industries are described. These include the breweries, iron foundries, toy factories, cotton and textile mills, the lumber trade, weapons manufacture, and the extensive railroad facilities.
Total length: 41,200 words.
