In the historic era, these were the [[Mohawk Nation]]. The city includes [[Van Schaick Island]], where the historic [[Van Schaick Mansion]] is located, and Simmons Island. Within Albany County, the city has the town of [[Colonie, New York|Colonie]] to its northwest, west, and south; with the town and village of [[Green Island, New York|Green Island]] to the south of Van Schaick Island. To the north across the Mohawk River is Saratoga County and the town of [[Waterford, New York|Waterford]]'s [[Administrative divisions of New York#Hamlet|hamlet]] of Northside.

The [[112th Street Bridge]] connects Van Schaick Island to Troy. {{clear}}
