“The Village of Fort Edward is located between Hudson Falls and Glens Falls in Washington County,
NY. The Hudson River forms the western boundary of the town, and Delaware and Hudson Railroad
(now the Canadian Pacific Railway) runs through town. Historically, Fort Edward was known for
being a portage between the Hudson River and the Champlain Canal. You wouldn’t know it today,
but Fort Edward was once the third largest city in North American after Boston and New York City
(18th century).” - Source
