Permanent settlement did not begin until 1624 by the Dutch. An important geographic location during the French and Indian War and the American Revolution, Albany became a significant transportation hub after the completion of the Erie Canal in 1825. Several US Navy ships have since been named USS Albany in honor of the city''s historical and military importance.
