View source for Toponymies of places in New York's Capital District

{{Dynamic list}}
The '''toponymies of places in New York's Capital District''' are a varied lot, from non-[[English language|English]] languages such as [[Indigineous peoples of the Americas|Native American]], [[Dutch language|Dutch]], and [[German language|German]] to places named for famous people or families, of either local or national fame.  Also, in the early 19th century, many places in the [[Hudson Valley]], Capital District and points west were either named or renamed after places from [[Classical Antiquity]] (e.g. Athens, Cairo, Carthage, Greece, Ilion, Ithaca, Phoenicia, Rome, Syracuse, Troy, Utica)
