Local Government
- Town of Duanesburg
- 5853 Western Turnpike
Duanesburg, NY 12056
(518) 895-8920 - Duanesburg is the westernmost town in Schenectady County, consisting of 73.5 square miles as a predominantly agrarian town bounded on the north by Montgomery County, on the west and southwest by Schoharie County and on the south by Albany County.
Historic Places
The Town of Duanesburg was settled as early as
1736-1770 by investors such as Thomas Freeman, Timothy Bagley, William
Crosby, Walter Butler and Jonathan Brewster. But by 1765, Judge Duane
owned the largest share of the Town, which was named in Duane's honor.
Duanesburg received its first patent as a town March 13, 1765. Early
on, James Duane envisioned Duanesburg as the future capital of New York
State, given his influence as mayor of New York City, Federal Judge,
friend of George Washington and member of the First Continental
Congress. And while this dream went by, Duanesburg became an important
railway center, boasting by 1907 the largest coaling station in the
world located in the Village of Delanson. Although Duanesburg remains a
characteristically rural area, the Town has become a bedroom community
for the tri-city area of Schenectady, Albany and Troy, as reflected in
Duanesburg's 20th century development and the completion of Interstate
88.
Points of Interest
Duanesburg has two Town Parks available for our residents enjoyment. VanPatten Mill Park and The Robert B. Shaffer Memorial Park.
Across the street from the Shafer Memorial Park is the Community Playground located at the Duanesburg Elementary School. This wooden playground was constructed by volunteers and has fun activities for children of all ages.
