The Stockade Historic District , also known simply as “The Stockade,” is the oldest neighborhood in the city of Schenectady. Originally serving as a fort, the area today is the site of some of the city’s most historically significant and oldest homes. The unique and beautiful historic neighborhood features over forty pre-Revolutionary homes, as well as several different architectural styles, including Victoria, Federal, Georgian, and Dutch Colonial. The Stockade is bordered by the Mohawk River, which provides a picturesque setting for the Riverside Park, with beautiful river views and an ideal place for bicycling, running, or just watching the sunset.
