About Hoosick Falls, NY

Although this has been an issue of considerable debate, it's believed the first documented settlers came to Hoosick Falls on the Hoosic River, around 1746. Encyclopedia Americana reports the date of the first permanent settlement as 1688. The French drove the settlers out as most of the settlement was burned, but they returned and rebuilt after the French and Indian War ended. Hoosick Falls was incorporated as a village in 1827. The site of Hoosick Falls is approximately where a Mohawk force attacked Metacom and his forces during King Philip's War.
