Brief History

The first European settlers on the Tenendeho Creek in the area of today's Saratoga Springs arrived in 1764. The first documented occurrence of the name "Saratoga Springs" dates back to 1829. The name comes from the early settlers, who were independent master craftsmen such as millers, carpenters, or butchers, whose professions were commonly known as the "mechanical arts" at the time. When the Champlain Canal reached the settlement in 1823, and especially when the Saratoga and Rensselaer Railway laid a track through the area in 1835, Saratoga Springs became an important commerce interchange. The community became an incorporated village in 1859, when it had about 1000 inhabitants. It grew rapidly as textile mills; factories and a linen thread company came to Saratoga Springs. In 1878, additional railways came to the village, and it became an important center of papermaking. In 1898, a hydroelectric power plant was

built on the Hudson River by Robert Newton King, and is now the oldest continuously-operating hydroelectric plant in the United States. By 1900, it was a major transfer yard and car repair center for the railways. In the 1920s, Saratoga Springs had a population of nearly 10,000. Saratoga Springs became a city in 1915. With the decline of the railroads, Saratoga Springs also suffered. The largest paper mill in the world which Saratoga Springs had once hosted (in 1904), ceased operations in 1971. The once thriving industry city is today a quiet residential city, with most inhabitants working in Albany, Schenectady, and other nearby communities.
