E N.Y.; inc. 1903. Situated on the southern tip of Lake George
in the foothills of the Adirondack Mts., it has been a popular
vacation site since the mid-1800s and is now a year-round
tourist and sports center. Vestiges of Fort William Henry, built
by Sir William Johnson, and Fort George are in the village. A

dating from the French and Indian War, is located nearby in the
lake. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed. Copyright ©
