The site of Schenectady was bought of the Indians by Van Curler in 1661 and a patent granted 1690. Union College was chartered in 1795. The city was incorporated in 1798 and in 1831 became the western terminus of the Mohawk and Hudson Railroad. Locomotive building was begun here in 1848 and the electrical industry was established in 1886. The Schenectady airport was opened in 1927
