Excerpt from The City of Troy and Its Vicinity Within the period of the century, from 1786' to 1886, beginning with the first occupation of the site of Troy by emigrants from the New England States, I have grouped, under the different subjectheadings, the principal facts appertaining to the history of the village and city. Should the one hundredth anniversary of the naming of the place, Troy, be celebrated in 1889, much of this information will make the event more significant and memorable. Troy is not only noted for the manufacture of collars, cuffs, shirts, horseshoes, iron, steel, stoves, cars, railroad rails, surveying instru ments, church bells, chains, knitting and laundry machinery, but enjoys the distinction of distributing her productions in more countries than any other city in the United States of like population and wealth. The infor mation I have presented respecting her banks, churches, schools, newspa pers, charitable and other institutions, will, I doubt not, be appreciated by those desiring knowledge of the city's history.
