The first exploration of the territory was most likely that of Hendrick Hudson who in 1609 sailed across the Atlantic and up the river which now bears his name. A lively trade was established by 1612 and early settlers began to colonize various regions. The establishments of Fort Orange (now Albany) and New Amsterdam( now NYC) in 1624 allowed traders and travelers to frequently stop along the shores of Columbia County. Small settlements sprang up to supply goods to these ships.
