Schaghticoke, Rensselaer, New York, USA
Schaghticoke is a town in Rensselaer County, New York, USA. It was named for the Schaghticoke, a Native American tribe formed in the seventeenth century from an amalgamation of remnant peoples of eastern New York and New England.
The town is on the northern border of the county, north of Troy. The town contains a village, also called Schaghticoke, and part of the village of Valley Falls.
This area was historically occupied by the Mohican tribe, and later by a mixed group of Mohicans, and remnants of numerous New England tribes who had migrated west seeking to escape European encroachment.
The first permanent settlement by Europeans began around 1668, who were mostly Dutch and English. One of the original county towns, the Town was organized in 1788, after the American Revolutionary War, from a previously established district (1772 in Albany County).Wikipedia
