“Collar City” - the nickname of Troy, New York. Aptly named after the detachable collar industry that started in Troy in the 1820s. According to local lore, it was Hannah Montague who came up with the idea of creating a detachable collar after her blacksmith husband Orlando complained that he had no clean white shirts to wear in the evenings after work.
Handy Hannah whipped out a pair of scissors and solved the problem by simply cutting off the dirty collars and attaching a clean one.
Et voilà! The detachable collar was born.
However, the story does not tell how often the shirts were changed. Let’s leave that stone unturned.

Hey Kingston peeps: follow the amazing here on IG, check out her website : www.nordstromforward7.com!
Why you ask?
Because she puts action behind her words.
Because she deeply cares for our community and everyone in it.
Because she’s a game changer and the new and modern politician we need: female, smart, actionable and she wants real change - so give her your support, Kingston!
