Excerpt from Representative Young Irish-Americans of Troy, N. Y New England settlers came in rapidly. Among the earliest were Benjamin Thurber, Benjamin Covell of Providence, and Samuel Gale, M. D., of Killingworth, Conn. At a public meeting held Monday evening, Jan. 5, 1789, the name of Troy was given to the hamlet, but it was not until Feb. 6, 1798, that the village was incorporated by act of the Legislature. Troy grew rapidly, and in 1807, John Lambert, an English traveler, said of it: Troy is a well-built town consisting chie y of one street of handsome red brick houses, upwards of a mile and a half in length. There are two or three short streets which branch of]? From the main one; but it is on the latter [river Street] that all the principal stores, warehouses and shops are situated. It also contains several excellent inns and taverns. The houses are all new and lofty and built with much taste and simplicity.
