Cohoes

River Town

Cohoes is an incorporated city located in the northeast corner of Albany County in the U.S. state of New York. It is called the "Spindle City" because of the importance of textile manufacturing to its growth in the 19th century. The city's factories processed cotton from the Deep South. The Mohawk River runs across the northern boundary from west to east and drops approximately 170 feet before it empties into the Hudson River runs along its easterly boundary.

In the middle and late nineteenth century, several of the world's largest knitting mills were constructed here, downstream from the Cohoes Falls, to take advantage of water power through a series of canals. Several brick mill houses were built above and below the mills, the central business district developed along Remsen Street. Nearby sites are listed below.
