History
Originally inhabited by Algonquian tribes, like the Mohicans and the Iroquois, the Albany region was claimed by the Dutch explorer Henry Hudson in 1609 and was settled in 1614 as a trading post. The post was named Beverwijck, but was renamed Albany after the British took control of the area in 1664.
