TROY CITY, the county seat of Rensselaer co., and
centre of an immense business, is at the bead of navigation on
tbe Hudson, and is built on an intervale, f m. wide, and about
2j long, extending along the e. bank of the river. The corpo-
rate limits are 3 m. long and 1 wide, except in the s. e., where
they extend 2 m. from the river, and include the village of
Albia. The squares formed by the intersection of streets, are
longest from n. to s., and between the principal streets running
parallel with the river, are narrow alleys. The streets running
from the river are numbered from it; all others number from
the Poesten kil. The city contains 10 wards, 24 school districts,
and 33 churches; is well supplied with water from Piscawin
creek, by works built by the city in 1833-4, and since 1848 has
been lighted with gas. A dam, 9 ft. high and 1100 long, extends
across the Hudson, affording an extensive power; Wynant’s
kil in the s. part has 12 mill sites, and Poesten kil 10 mill sites
within the city, besides which an immense amount of steam
power is used. The iron manufactures consist of rail road
iron, rolled iron, spikes, nails, stoves, fire arms, malleable iron,
steam engines, safes and agricultural implements, employing
in all about 2,000 men. There are 8 flouring mills, several
breweries and distilleries, factories of cotton and woolen goods,
hosiery, paper, carriages, clothing, &c., employing 7,000 hands.
There are over 20 establishments for making shirts, collars,
&c., employing about 4,500 hands. Mathematical instruments,4

bells, &c., are largely manufactured. The amount of commerce
at this place is considerable. A sloop lock, 30 ft. wide and
114 long, extends navigation to Lansingburgh and Waterford,
connecting at the latter place with the Champlain canal. A
toll and rail road bridge crosses to Centre and Green islands.
• Troy owes its first impulse to the completion of the canal,
which gave it a permanent prosperity. Population in 1855,
33,269.
On June 20, 1820, and Aug. 25, 1854, destructive fires oc-
curred in this city. Several land slides have also destroyed
lives and valuable property.

The Shaker Settlement of Watervliet, founded in 1776, is 6 m.
west of West Troy, embracing about 300 persons in 4 families.
Mother Ann Lee, the founder of the sect, is buried here.
The Empire Race Course on an island below Troy, is joined
with the w. shore by a floating bridge.
The Albany Rural Cemetery, is seen on the brow of a hill
west of the Hudson, about a mile from the river, a little over 1
m. below Troy. There is a station adjacent on the Alb., Yt.
& C. R. R., at which local trains stop. It was laid out in 1844.
NORTH ALBANY is a new village in Watervliet,
the home of the patroons of the Rensselaer Manor, just north
of Albany. The Van Rensselaer mansion is in a grove near
the river, on the outskirts of the city.
The lumber district of Albany extends about § mile above
the city between the canal and river, having 19 slips from the
former, and a commodious dock along the latter. It is the
largest lumber market in the state.
BATH, is connected with the upper part of Albany, by
a steam ferry; distance 1,265 feet. It is named from a sul-
phur spring near it. A paper mill built several years since,
was abandoned on account of the ice.	*
ALBANY CITY, the state capital, since 1797, and
county seat of Albany co., is situated w. of the Hudson, upon
the narrow flat bordering the river, and the side and summit
of the hills that rise about 180 feet above it. The plan of
the older part of the city is irregular, and still shows in the
curvature of its streets a trace of the line of ancient stockades.
The newer parts are regularly laid out, and the blocks are gene-
rally longer from e. to w. All streets running from the river are
numbered from it, and all parallel with the river from the x.,
except Broadway, North Pearl, Montgomery and Water streets,
whose numbers begin on the s.
The city extends about 1-| m. along the river, and is densely
settled about 1 m. back; but its corporate limits run in a stripALBANY.
1 m. wide over 13 m., n. w., to the line of Schenectady co.
This is said to have been reserved for a military road by Gov.
Dongan, in granting the city charter in 1686. The Rensselaer
manor, with this exception, formerly covered most of this
county, and a large part of Rensselaer.
The city contains 10 wards, 13 school districts, and about 50
churches. It is abundantly supplied with water by reser-
voirs, mostly fed from Patroon’s creek, taken about 5 m. w.
of the river, and distributed from reservoirs sufficiently ele-
vated to throw water over most of the buildings. The pre-
sent works were built by the city in 1851-3, at a cost exceeding
$1,000,000, and the revenues more than pay interest and
cost of maintenance. The city has been lighted by gas
since 1842. It has a large amount of commerce, and exten-
sive manufactories of beer, malt, stoves, engines, castings,
machinery, car wheels, cars, coaches, safes, agricultural imple-
ments, common and fire brick, tile, planed lumber, flour, fur-
niture, pianos, oil cloths, wall paper, clothing, &c. The Erie
canal terminates here in a capacious basin, formed by a pier
built across a natural curve in the river. This pier is owned
by a company. Albany is the terminus of the N. Y. Central
R. R., the Albany, Yt. and Canada R. R., and of the proposed
Albany and Susquehanna R. R., and directly opposite the Hud-
son River R. R. and the Western (Mass.)R. R. Population in
1855, 57,333.
State Property and Institutions.—The Capitol is a brown stone
building at the head of State street, containing, besides the
apartments used by the Legislature and the State courts, the
offices of the Governor and Adjutant General. It was erected
at the joint expense of the state, city and county, and for many
years served also as a city hall and county court house.
Adjoining the Capitol is the State Library, a fire-proof structure,
of brick and iron, with fronts faced w7ith brown free-stone.
Its law department is very extensive and valuable, and its mis-
cellaneous books, maps, coins, MSS., &c., are excelled in num-
ber and value by but few libraries in the U. S. It numbers10

about 52,000 volumes, and is rapidly increasing. It is free to
all persons, and is under the care of the Regents of the Uni-
versity, whose office is in the building. The State Hall, on
Eagle street, is a massive structure, faced with marble wrought
in the Sing Sing prison. It contains the principal state offices.
The State Cabinet and rooms of the State Agricultural Soc.
are in a large building lately erected on the site of the old
State Hail. The Cabinet of Natural Hist., and the Museum of
the State Ag. Soc., are open daily, Sundays and holidays
excepted. They afford a most interesting and instructive field
for study, and are free to all. The State Normal School,
adjacent to the cabinet, is well worthy of a visit by the
stranger. The State Arsenal and Armory, on Eagle and Hudson
streets, was erected in 1858-9, for the preservation of arms
belonging to the state, and the use of the local militia. The
City Hall, a fine marble structure, is on Eagle st., foot of
Washington av.
Educational Institutions.—The Albany Medical College, on
Eagle street, was founded about 20 years since, and has an ex-
tensive museum, free and open through the day. A course of
lectures is held each winter, and students have the benefit
of hospital lectures, access to a valuable library, and ample
facilities for the study of chemistry in a well arranged labora-
tory. The law department of the Albany University has its
lecture room in the s. wing of the college, and two courses of
lectures are delivered annually. The State Library and State
Courts afford opportunities to the law student not found to a
similar extent in any other place in the state, and perhaps not
surpassed in the Union. The Albany Academy (for boys) is a
fine Italian structure, on a park opposite the State Hall, and is
owned by the city. The Albany Female Academy, on North
Pearl street, and Albany Female Seminary, on Division street,
are the other incorporated academies of the city. The Acade-
my of the Sacred Heart is on Troy road. Besides these are
about 70 private schools, many of which are well sustained.
Literary Institutions.—The Albany Institute has rooms in the
Albany Academy, and owns a library of 8000 vols, and a valu-
able museum of natural history, coins, curiosities, &e. Stran-
gers can gain access without expense, by application to a
member. Meetings, open to the public, are held once in two
weeks through the winter. It originated in 1791, and received
its present name in 1829.ALBANY.

Quassaic Creek, enters from the w. side § m. helow New-
burgh. The N. Y. and Erie R. R. passes up this valley.
NEW WINDSOR, w. side (P. 0.), is a small village
scattered along the river under the hill. It has several
brick yards. A church is on the brow of the hill below.
There is a large paper mill at Moodna, 2 m. back of this place.
Plum Paint, w. side, is a promontory with fine country seats
upon it. A clievaux-de-frise was built in the revolution from
this to PolopePs Island, in the river opposite.
CORNWALL, w. side, is just above the Highlands. The
landing is below tlie mouth of Murderer’s creek, at which
a wide shallow expansion of the river occurs. The village,
of about 650 inhabitants, is a little above, in the valley, and
hid from view on the river. Many families from the city spend
their summers near this place and at every available place be-
low. The rural home of N. P. Willis is near this place. The
steamer Thomas Powell touches here, and Cornwall Station
is opposite.
The Fishkill Mountains, lay s. e. from the landing, at the
beignning of the Highlands on the e. side. Of these Break-
neck hill is 1,187 feet high, and has a R. R. tunnel, with 516
feet rock cutting, and 178 feet of arches. Beacon Hill, further
from the river, is 1,685 feet high, and was named from signal
fires in the revolution. It is sometimes called the Grand
Sachem. Old Beacon, another summit, is 1,471 feet high.
Butter Hill, w. side, 1,529 ft. high, is the first of the High-
lands. It has been named the Storm King.
The Crow’s Nest, next below on same side, is 1,418 feet high.
COLD SPRING, e. side, is an ‘incorporated village, of
about 2,500 inhabitants, chiefly important for its immense
foundry and machine shops on the creek, a little s. e. Bull
hill, just above, is 1,586 feet high, and is sometimes named
Mount Taurus. Undercliff, just above the village, is the
residence of Gen. Geo. P. Morris. The steamer Thomas Pow-
ell touches here.WEST POINT.----BUTTER MILK FALLS.	29
Constitution Island, a little below, is a promontory on the
E. side, in a sharp bend of the river, with a marshy meadow
containing about 300 acres, in the rear. A chain was placed
across from this to West Point in the revolution, and traces
of Fort Constitution are still seen near the water’s edge. This
island before the revolution was called Martelaer’s Rock. In
the revolution it belonged to Mrs. Ogilvie, one of the heirs
of the Philipsburgli Manor. On the w. side are targets for the
artillery practice of cadets.
WEST POINT, has been for 63 years the seat of the U.
S. Military Academy, and the buildings connected with this
establishment are of the most ample and permanent kind.
The premises occupy an elevated terrace in the midst of the
Highlands. The cadets spend several weeks each summer in
camp, and have constant opportunities for applying the sub-
jects taught to practical use. Visitors upon landing, register
their names, and are afforded every facility for visiting the in-
stitution. All the day steamers, touch here.
Fort Putnam is a ruin on Mount Independence, 596 feet
above the level of the river, overlooking the academy and its
surroundings.
Kosciusko's Monument, is on the most prominent point over-
looking the bend in the river, on the site and near the ruins of
Fort Clinton.
■y
Gee's Pointy Sit the extreme angle in the bend of the river,
has a light 38 feet high, erected in 1853. Vessels may pass
close to the point.
GARRISON’S is the station for West Point directly
opposite, to which a steam ferry runs. The tunnel at this
place is 600 feet long.
COZZEN’S is a summer hotel, and landing, a short dis-
tance below the academy on the w. side.
BUTTER MILK EALLS, w. side, is a landing and
small village, 2 m. below West Point, with mills. Pop. 307.
A little stream of water comes in just above, covering the rocks
with foam.30
FORT MONTGOMERY.
Sugar Loaf, is a remarkable hill, 865 feet high, a little be-
low Butter Milk Falls, on the e. side of the river. As seen
from below it has a conical outline.
The Robinson House, on a fertile plateau at the foot of Sugar
Loaf, about 400 yards from the Hudson, 2 m. s. e. from West
Point and 4 m. g. from Cold Spring, is memorable from being
the residence of Arnold when his treason was detected. It
now belongs to the estate of R. D. Arden, known as Ardenia.
In the revolution it belonged to Beverly Robinson, who acquired
by marriage into the Phillipse family, the title to large tracts
in the Highlands. His estates were confiscated on account of
his adherence to the enemy in the revolution.
Beverly Dock, f m. below the house, is the point where the
traitor took passage in his flight to the ship Vulture, a little
below Teller’s Point. The dock is at the termination of a
marsh near a point, through which is a deep cut on the rail
road.
FORT MONTGOMERY, w. side, stood on a bluff,
elevated 100 feet above the river, at the upper end of a reach
in the river. Most of the plan may still be traced upon the
brow of the cliff, but the fort is mostly thrown down. More than
half way down are the remains of the two gun batteries that
covered the chain and chevaux-de-frize which once guarded
the river here.., These were broken by the enemy in their
passage up the river, October 6th, 1777. Peploep’s creek or
Poplopen kil comes in below, and directly s. of this and within
rifle shot of Fort Montgomery stood Fort Clinton, 123 feet above
the river. Not a vestige of this fort is left, the premises being
occupied by a dwelling and its grounds. Lake Sinnipink, or
Bloody Pond, is a small, narrow sheet of limpid water, { m. w.
just under the foot of Bear Mountain and 123 feet above the
river. It is sometimes called Highland Lake, and the ice is
annually harvested from its surface and slid down to an ice
house at the water’s edge. Poplopen kil divides the town of
Cornwall from Monroe, and its valley extends up s. w. among
the Highlands. Iron ore is brought down from the mines,CALDWELL’S LANDING.

about 8 m. in the rear. A small village and P. 0. on the w.,
and a station on the e. side, bear the name of Fort Mont-
gomery. The tunnel near the depot is 358 feet long.
Anthony’s Nose, 1228 feet high, is the last of the mountains
on the e. side. There is a tunnel 70 feet long, at this place.
It is on the n. line of Westchester co. The chain to Fort
Montgomery was attached to this point.
. Ionia Island, w. side, has a salt marsh below and in the
rear, and is occupied by a vineyard. It has been known as
Beveridge’s Island, Salisbury Island, &c., and in the original
Indian deed it was named Manahawaghkin.
Roa or Rahway Hook, on the e. side, is the site of Fort
Independence, which stood on the top of a high, sandy bluff
that has been partly undermined and taken away by the rail
road, as it passes out of the Highlands and sweeps around the
wide expanse of Peekskill bay. A large building was erected
on this bluff for a hotel a few years since.
CALDWELL’S LANDINGr, w. side, just around the
sharp angle that the river makes in emerging from the High-
lands, has a few houses, and is the landing place
It lies at the foot of the Donderberg, the last of the
Highlands on the w. Further s. w. are the Collaberg and
Buckaberg mountains, lying back from the river. Just above
this landing, is seen the trace of a coffer dam, where large sums
have been spent in search of Kidd’s treasure. Heavy debts were
incurred; no one ventured to acknowledge ownership by
removing the machinery erected for pumping, and the credit-
ors of the Kidd Salvage co., could not take the property unless
in some one’s name, so that between the two it went to ruin.
Here begin the immense brick yards that almost literally
line both shores for many miles below.
Peekskill Cheek, e. side, comes into the Hudson at the
foot of the Highlands and its valley, seen from below, appears
very much like that of the main river. The bridge across the
mouth of the creek is 1496 feet long. Continental Village, a
short distance up this creek, was burned by Sir Henry Clinton,32
PEEKSKILL.--YERPLANC^S POINT.
in Oct., 1777. Annsville is a small village up the creek, with
a wire mill.
PEEKSKILL^ B. side, is a statipn and ferry landing.
The village | m. up the stream in a fine elevated open valley,
is incorporated, has about 4,000 inhabitants, and is lighted by
gas. Adjacent to the river and in the valley are extensive
manufactories of stoves, plows, machinery, tobacco, fire arms,
leather, gin, &c. It has a large amount of trade with the in-
terior, an academy, and several boarding schools. The brick
of this vicinity and below, form an important item of industry
and capital. Cortlandville Cemetery, 2 m. n., is the burial
place of John Paulding, one of the captors'of Andre, and a neat
monument has been placed over his grave by the city of New
York.

and the lime is sent s. and used in agriculture.
VERPLANCK’S POINT, a large promontory on the
e. side was defended by Fort La Fayette in the revolution.
A few years since it was laid out as a city, and traces of the
plan are seen in its streets. Extensive brick yards extend
along the shore, and lime is burned to some extent. The steamer
Aurora touches here, and a R. R. station is opposite.
King’s Ferry, a noted thoroughfare of the revolution con-
nected this with Stony Point, nearly opposite.STONY POINT.---HAVERSTRAW.	33
STONY POINT, w. side, is a rocky promontory with
marshes in the rear, flowed at high tide. It is memorable for
its daring and successful assault by Gen. Wayne, July 16,
1779. A light house — feet above the river occupies the sum-
mit of the point, and around it are the remains of the fortress.
A bell in a tower adjacent, is tolled by clock-work in foggy
weather.
About half way between this place and Haverstraw, is seen
the house formerly owned by Joshua H. Smith, where Arnold
and Andre spent a day together. It is of stone with a wooden
wing upon each side, and a piazza in front, and stands on the
hill side beyond the flats.
Montrose’s or Parsonage Point, e. side, a little below, has
several fine residences. It is separated from Verplanck’s Point

Huyler’s Landing, is a hamlet under the palisades, opposite
the Forest place.
The Palisades extend from near Piermont, down the w. side
of the river to Hoboken, forming an almost continuous cliff, of
from 300 to 500 feet elevation. They are composed of trap or
basaltic rock, of volcanic origin and similar to that of the
Giant’s Causeway in the north of Ireland, but the structure al-
though distinctly columnar, is less perfectly prismatic. The
upper half or third of the Palisade range is vertical, but the
lower portion is covered by the ruins of the cliffs above, and
the whole is underlaid by red sand stone. Here and there
along their base, there occurs a few rods of soil susceptible of
tillage, and the cottages of fishermen are dotted along near the
water’s edge. At several places indicated on the map, roads
have been constructed in a zig-zag line up to the heights above,
and landings have been constructed to accommodate the back
country. The top of the Palisades, is covered by a thin growth
of forest, which extends back about a mile from the river.

about opposite 70th st., N. Y., on the summit of the Palisades
overlooking the river.
WEEHAWKEN is a small village on the heights 3 m.
above Hoboken, with a pierextending far out from the w. shore
and a ferry running to 42d street. Many cattle brought over the
N. Y. and Erie R. R. are here taken across to market. The cele-
brated dueling ground, where Hamilton was mortally wounded
by Burr, on the morning of July 11, 1804, is about three-
fourths of a mile below the ferry, and close by the turnpike
road lately built along the foot of the Palisades. The spot was
a small grassy ledge, twenty feet above the water, about six feet
wide by thirty long. A cedar tree and some blocks of stone,
marked with the initials of visitors, now alone serve to indicate
the site. The St. Andrew’s Society of New York, soon after the
event, erected a marble monument and enclosed it with an iron
railing, but these have long since been broken up a^d oarried
off by visitors. The new road has been cut down three or four
feet lower than the ground upon which the duelists stood, and
immediately adjacent to it. Travelers on the river, will notice
a clump of bushes growing at the water’s edge, between the
road and the river. These are exactly in front of the locality,
which is almost opposite, but a little below the new Weehawken
ferry house, at the foot of 42d st., N. Y.
North Hoboken, Unton Hill, Three Pigeons and New Dur-
ham are scattered villages upon the top of the Palisades, and
in the valley behind them near this place. A stage runs from
Hoboken half hourly to Union Hill.

WEST HOBOKEN.—JERSEY CITY.
33d and 34th sts. formerly commanded a pleasant view from the
river, but has now been almost entirely shut in by a dense mass
of dwellings. The legislature has recently permitted these
premises, now greatly enhanced in value to be sold, and a new
location to be selected.
WEST HOBOKEN is a conspicuous village on the
heights above and partly in the rear of the Elysian Fields.
A low marshy tract extends along the foot of the hills behind
Hoboken, which appears to have formerly been an island.
HOBOKEN CITY was incorporated in 1855, and had in
that year 6,727 inhabitants. It lies above Jersey City opposite
New York city, is divided into 3 wards and has several spacious
and elegant dwellings. The Elysian Fields, at this place chiefly
occupy the low grounds above and behind Castle Point, upon
which Mr. Steven’s mansion stands. They afford a quiet shaded
retreat from the dust and noise of the great city and are much
resorted to in hot weather. Ferries run to this city from Bar-
clay, Canal, Christopher and w. 19th streets, N. Y. at frequent
intervals. A great iron floating battery, has been many years
under construction here, for the U. S. government, near the
foundry that stands close to the water’s edge, a short distance
above the ferry landing. The public are not allowed to visit
the premises.
HARSAMTJS or PAVONIA is a part of Jersey city,
lying in the rear of the wide shallow flats that are now about
being filled in. This filling will include an area of 250 acres
now useless for commercial purposes.
JERSEY CITY, opposite N. Y. was incorporated in 1820,
is divided into 4 Wards, and Bad in 1855, 21,715 inhabitants.
It is attached to the New York Collection District and has a con-
siderable amount of commerce and numerous manufactories,
chiefly of machinery, locomotives, flint glass, pottery, soap,
starch, cement, zinc-white, steel, castings, jewelry, fireworks,HUDSON CITY.—NEW YORK CITY.

&c. It is an important coal mart, and the landing place of t-lie
Cunard line of steamers. It is the terminus of the Morris ca-
nal which extends 102 miles to the Delaware opposite Easton.
The canal Basin is at the lower angle of the e. front of the city
formerly Paulus-Hook. The New Jersey R. R., the New York
& Erie R. R. and the Northern R. R. of N. J. end at the Court-
landt St. Ferry. The business of Jersey city is closely con-
nected with that of New York, and it has frequent communi-
cation with that city by ferries to Courtlandt St. The city is
supplied with water taken from Passaic above Newark, and is
lighted by gas.
HUDSON CITY, lies w. of Jersey City and the city of
Hoboken. It was incorporated in 1855, and had in that year
•3,322 inhabitants.
COMMUNIPAW is a small village s. w. from Jersey
city, overlooking the bay.
NEW YORK CITY, comprises Manhattan Island and
the adjacent islands in New York Bay and the East River. It
is divided into 22 wards, and in 1855 reported 629,810 inhab-
itants. The cities of Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken and Hud-
son, and numerous large villages in the adjacent parts of New
Jersey, Staten Island, Long Island and Westchester Co., in busi-
ness interests should be regarded as but part of this great commer-
cial and financial metropolis, and would at the present time, em-
brace within ten miles of the City Hall in N. Y., a population of
at least a million and a quarter of inhabitants. Over half of the
taxes paid in the state are collected within the city of New
York, and its revenues from foreign trade considerably exceed
those of all the other commercial cities of the Union together,
and defray nearly half the expenses of the National govern-
ment.
The plan of the southern portion of the city is quite irregular
but the central and northern parts laid out by the commission-44
NEW YORK CITY.
ers appointed in 1807 are very conveniently arranged. Above
Houston st. and east of Broadway, the streets running e. and
w. are known by their numbers, and from Fourteenth st. north-
ward the plan is entirely regular. The thoroughfares running
N. and s. are named Avenues which are numbered from 1 to 12,
commencing on the East River. Several short Avenues e. of
First Avenue are named from the letters, as Avenue A, &c. These
avenues are usually 100 feet wide, and about 800 feet apart.
The 2d, 3d, 4th, 6th and 8th, have railroads using horse power,
and the Hudson River R. R. passes through portions of the
10th, 11th and 12th avenues. The streets above Fourteenth
st. extend across the island, and are known only by their num-
bers. They are 60 feet wide (except those numbered 14, 23, 34,
42, 67, 72, 79, 86,91,106,116,125,135y 148 and 155, which are
100 feet) and the blocks between them are about 200 feet wide,
or about 20 blocks to the mile. Houses are numbered on the
Avenues towards the north, and on the Streets each way from
Fifth avenue. It is customary to distinguish these numbers by
prefixing the term East or Westt as—No. 400 w. 23d st.
The facilities for passing from one part of the city to another
are numerous, cheap and convenient, consisting of rail road
and omnibus lines running vehicles for passengers at frequent
intervals, and having low rates of faro which are limited and
regulated by law.
Omnibus Routes. There are at present 26 distinct routes, com-
prising about 450 stages, which average ten trips each way daily. They
mostly run from the ferries in the lower part of the city, along the prin-
cipal thoroughfares, to some point in the upper part of the city, beyond
the active business quarter; and upon each of these routes are a sufficient
number of vehicles to start one every five or ten minutes through the day.
They are uniformly drawn by two horses, have their route conspicuously
painted upon their sides, and their rates of fare upon or within them.
Passengers are usually required to pay on entering, and the rate is usually
six cents, and is uniform upon each line without regard to the distance
travelled. A few lines running mostly on the east side of the town have
reduced rates of fare, and others running to Manhattanville, High Bridge,
&c., are allowed increased rates, varying from 12 to 25 cents. Nearly all
of these omnibus lines suspend business upon the Sabbath. These several
routes are enumerated in the City Directory, and in the Common Council
Manual.NEW YORK CITY.
