About Albany
Albany is the capital of New York, a Hudson River city of Dutch roots, a grand Capitol and a bold modernist plaza of towers and a museum.
Albany stands on the west bank of the Hudson River, where it began in the 1620s as a Dutch fur-trading post called Fort Orange, and it received a city charter in 1686, one of the oldest in the country. The New York State Capitol, finished in 1899 after three decades of work, is a heavily carved building in a mix of styles with an ornate stone staircase. Below it, the Empire State Plaza, a complex of white marble towers and an egg-shaped performing arts hall from the 1960s and 1970s, is a very different statement.
