20 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Albany County, New York

Albany County is much larger than the city that gives it its name. North of the capital, the old industrial city of Cohoes meets the Mohawk River at the great falls. In Watervliet, the history of the arsenal and the Hudson River runs through generations of working families. To the west are Guilderland and Altamont; to the south, Bethlehem and its communities of Delmar and Selkirk. Colonie and Latham form another extensive part of the county’s suburban landscape. These places have their own histories, schools, neighborhoods, and remarkable former residents.
