Rensselaerwyck

Rensselaerwyck

Rensselaerswyck is the name of a colonial estate (specifically, a Dutch-American patroonship owned by the Van Rensselaer family) that was located in what is now New York, USA. The estate was originally deeded by the Dutch West India Company in 1630 to Kiliaen van Rensselaer a Dutch merchant and the company's primary investor. Rensselaerwyck lay on both sides of the Hudson River near present-day Albany, New York and included parts of the present New York counties of Albany, Columbia, Greene, and Rensselaer, and it extended as far east as Pownal, Vermont.
