GLENS FALLS, a city of Warren county, New York, U.S.A., on the Hudson river, 6o m. above Albany. It is on Federal high ways 4 and 9; has an airport ; and is served by the Delaware and Hudson railway. The population was 16,638 in 192o (89% native white) and was 18,531 in 193o by the Federal census. The prin cipal residence streets are arched with superb elms. It is a busy manufacturing city, making especially shirts and collars, cement, pulp and paper, dresses and blouses, wall paper and pigments. The aggregate output of its factories in 1927 was valued at $17, 261,658. There are valuable quarries of black marble and lime stone in the vicinity. In the river bank, under a beautiful con crete bridge, is the entrance to the cave which figures in J. Feni more Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans. Glens Falls was settled in 1763, by a group of Quakers under the leadership of Abraham Wing. At first it was called Wing's Falls, but in 1788 the name was changed to satisfy a debt of honour (so the story goes) owed by Wing to Colonel Johannes Glen of Schnectady. During the Revolution the village suffered from the armies of Burgoyne, Schuyler and Gates, and was burned to the ground in 178o, but because of the valuable water-power and advantageous location it was soon rebuilt. It was chartered as a city in 1908.
