NEW NETHERLAND ROUTES

SCHENECTADY, NY

The New Netherland Routes in Schenectady, New York, are a network of historic roads and trails that were used by Native Americans, Dutch colonists, and early American settlers in the area. The network consists of five principal roads: the Mohawk Trail, the Schenectady Path, the Dutchess Path, the King's Highway, and the Albany Post Road. The Mohawk Trail was the main route from Schenectady to Albany, and it was also used by Native Americans for centuries. The Schenectady Path was the main route to Fort Orange (now Albany) and was also used by Native Americans. The Dutchess Path was used to connect Albany to New York City. The King's Highway was a road built by the Dutch settlers in the 1600s and was used to travel between Schenectady and Albany. The Albany Post Road was built in the 1700s and was used to connect Albany to New York City.

These five roads form the main network of New Netherland Routes in Schenectady, and they have remained largely unchanged since the colonial era. The routes are maintained by the Schenectady County Historical Society and are open to the public for walking and biking. The trails provide visitors with a unique opportunity to explore the history of the area and to experience firsthand the legacy of the Dutch settlers who called Schenectady home.
