Albany, the capital of New York, was named after the Duke of Albany, a title held by James II of England. The name was officially adopted in 1664 when the English took control of the Dutch settlement of Fort Orange, which had been established in 1624. The name reflects the city's historical ties to both English and Dutch colonial influences. Albany has since become a significant political and cultural center in the region.
