Welcome to Schenectady, New York

This bustling city, the ninth largest in New York, is located 18 mi (29 km) northwest of Albany and has a bounty of natural and cultural attractions to explore. The name is derived from a Mohawk word which means, “near the pines”. Schenectady was also once known as the “city that lights and hauls the world”, a reference to the General Electric Company and the American Locomotive Company, which both had head offices in the city. The Erie Canal runs through town, and is rich in history as one of the first commercial waterways in the United States. The Schenectady Historical Society has also created a unique museum, documenting the rich past of this community, with a variety of interactive and informative displays.The Stockade is steeped in history, with pre-revolution architecture. In addition, the Planetarium offers a glimpse into outer space through a series of dazzling films and dioramas.
