Topic: Albany River


  
 The Hudson River Basin
The impulse upward and westward along this short axis symbolizes the colonial transition from the Dutch east (the river, Fort Orange, and the Dutch church), to the English west (the new fort and St. Peters).
Albany was caught up with a vengeance in the 'laying-out' of streets, as it outgrew the old stockades.
Albany as a whole was profoundly affected by these trends, but State Street itself was relatively unscathed, except for the development of the hotel-bank complex by old Elm Tree corner, a development that obliterated significant portions of the historic street plan.

The Albany River Rats are an ice hockey team in the American Hockey League.
The team was founded as the Capital District Islanders (playing at Houston Field House on campus at RPI located across the Hudson River in Troy, New York) in 1990 but changed their name when the New Jersey Devils sold their old affiliate the Utica Devils to become linked with this team.

 River People in Early Albany
From the beginning, the Albany community economy was driven by trade and commerce with local trades and crafts initiated to generate shiny, colorful, sweet, and more utilitarian items that were bartered to fur bearing Indians and then with the farmers of an emerging countryside.
The Albany business community had taken control of the Hudson River carrying trade by utilizing a bountiful selection of native woods to build and maintain their own sloops for the long haul and lesser watercraft for cross river and close-by commerce.
The descendants of Albany's founders already had established satellite settlements at the most advantageous regional locations, and the Van Rensselaers, Livingstons, and Albany-based landholders now were ready to exploit their large estates in the lands beyond Albany city.
