The story of Albany, NY began in 1614, when Dutch colonists arrived in the area and built Fort Nassau. The fur trade was the primary reason for creating the outpost, but as time went on, the economic rationale and base for the city changed. The city was named New York’s capital in 1797, so government work would always be an economic mainstay in the city. But in addition to that, transportation was also a huge part of the city’s success.

Railroads, turnpikes, the Erie Canal: all roads (and other forms of transport) led to Albany. With so many different forms of transport converging on Albany, businesses and industries sprang up to serve them. Albany saw a number of industries and business play a role in its history, ranging from ironworks and sawmills to publishing houses and Fortune 500 companies.

Today, Albany, NY is home to Tech Valley, the hub of high tech in New York.
