Rotterdam and Niskayuna are both a governing town and a separately mapped Census-designated place sharing the town’s name — the CDP figures above cover only the denser core, not the whole town. Three names in the old list — Schonowe (an early Mohawk-language name for the Schenectady settlement itself), Steinmetz Homes and West Hill (both Schenectady city neighborhoods, not distinct hamlets) — are omitted here as duplicates of the city entry rather than separate places, and Van Buren Park Homes could not be independently confirmed and has been left off.<\/p>\n
