Whitehall, New York, known as the Birthplace of the United States Navy, was settled in 1759 by British Army Captain Philip Skene and originally named Skenesboro. This historic colonial town became a center of maritime trade and played a significant role during the Revolutionary War, including the construction of a fleet by Benedict Arnold.
Throughout its history, Whitehall has emphasized themes of defense and transportation, notably contributing to the first fleet for battle in 1776. The town's canal, in use since 1819, facilitated prosperity for shippers and travelers, connecting Lake Champlain to New York City and enhancing trade in various goods.
