Ancram Taghkanic NY Real Estate Homes History
The name of Ancram was derived from the Livingston homestead in Anchoram, Scotland which was the birthplace of Robert Livingston’s father. The town comprised 27,000 of the total 160,000 acres the Livingston family had held from the initial grant by the English Crown in 1686. Philip Livingston, grandson of Robert, founded in Ancram the first iron works in 1743, which included four forges, a blast furnace and a refinery forge that employed 75 to 100 men at full operation. Three iron mines and a lead mine supported the iron works.
The Ancram iron works later became important as an early “defense plant”. It was in Ancram that iron was made for the cannon balls for the Continental artillery and the links for the great chain that was stretched across the Hudson River. It is also said that the same ironworks produced weaponry for the British. This iron works became a paper mill in 1854 and still operates as a paper mill today. It is the longest continuously operating mill in New York State and one of the largest employers in Columbia County
