How did Albany County Wyoming get its name?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

in the early 1600s after being discovered by Henry Hudson. Looking for a faster trade route in 1609, he explored the River, later named for him, northward from Manhattan. By 1664, nearly 10,000 Dutch were settled in Fort Orange when the English captured the fort and renamed it in honor of the Duke of Albany. Though technically part of Britain's crown until the Revolution, Dutch merchants continued to influence the City, and under Dutch guidance, Albany played an important role in maintaining communication between the French, the British and the Iroquois. Albany's Annual Tulip Festival in historic Washington Park honors this Dutch heritage each spring. Thousands view nature's spectacular color show while enjoying the music, art and food of this popular event. Albany became the official capital of New York State in January 1797.

If you are using Black Hills as the name of a place, then yes, it should be capitalized because it would be a proper noun. i.e. Black Hills of South Dakota.

If it isn't being used as a particular place, i.e. Look on top of those black hills which are next to that white mountain, then it would not be capitalized.

What states is Cheyenne the capital?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cheyenne was the capital of the Wyoming Territory and, since it was the only city in the state of Wyoming of any substance, it remained as the capital of the state of Wyoming.

The location of Cheyenne is in the lower south east corner of the state, only minutes from the Colorado border. The significance of the location has to do with it being a stop on the Oregon and Mormon trail. It is also located close to water and eventually became a major stop for the Union Pacific railroad. It lead straight into Salt Lake, Utah or north to Oregon via South Pass Wyoming. As in most major cities that eventually became the capital, it started out as a stop for settlers within Indian country looking for shelter, food or trade.
