In the years after Fort Orange was established in 1624 in today’s Albany a village grew up outside the fort in the area of today’s downtown core. The City and Discover Albany created an audio tour https://tinyurl.com/bdze9r3k along the line of the Stockade erected to protect the village.

400 years after the founding of Fort Orange as the oldest continuous European settlement in the United States, there isn’t a lot of talk about it. The Times Union says there was a celebration 100 years ago for the 300th anniversary which was a big deal.

Time has run out for a big celebration in 2024 which leaves us with other ways to note this anniversary. The Mayor’s Office announced a tour of the Albany stockade line which protected the village that grew out of the Fort.

Fort later abandoned when Fort Frederick built at top of State St hill.

After Henry Hudson exited the stage of North America and the river that bears his name, it was five years before the Dutch set up Fort Nassau in 1614-near the spot where Henry Hudson anchored in 1609 -the First fortified Dutch trading post in New Netherland. The fort was abandoned after 4 years due to river overflow and expiration of New Netherland Co patent. Across the river later was built Fort Crailo. Charles Gehring of the New Netherland Institute and Paul Huey Tell their variations of the Tale at HEAR about HERE. https://shorturl.at/0Epej
