Lake George, a 28,160-acre lake, runs along the county’s eastern side, and the Hudson River crosses the county’s western towns through Thurman, Johnsburg and Warrensburg. Much of the county’s land area is state-owned Adirondack Forest Preserve.<\/p>\n Warren County borders Essex County<\/a> to the north, Washington County<\/a> to the east, Saratoga County<\/a> to the south, and Hamilton County<\/a> to the west.<\/p>\n The 2020 census counted 65,737 residents. The largest communities are Glens Falls (14,830) and the neighboring Glens Falls North CDP (9,530), together forming the county’s only urbanized area. The county’s median household income runs below the New York median of $82,095, reflecting its mix of year-round working towns and seasonal lake communities. Population density is roughly 76 people per square mile, concentrated around Glens Falls and Lake George village.<\/p>\n Tourism around Lake George and the southern Adirondacks is the county’s largest industry, drawing summer visitors to boating, camping and the village’s amusement parks. Glens Falls anchors a manufacturing and healthcare base, including Glens Falls Hospital, and the county has been described as home to a dense cluster of medical-device manufacturers. Warrensburg hosts an annual World’s Largest Garage Sale each fall, and North Creek is a base for skiing at nearby Gore Mountain.<\/p>\n Warren County was formed in 1813 from parts of Washington County, and named for General Joseph Warren, the Massachusetts physician and Revolutionary War officer killed at the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775. The county’s logging and tanning industries drove 19th-century growth along the upper Hudson, while Lake George’s role as a resort destination dates to the same century, following its use as a military corridor during the French and Indian War.<\/p>\n Interstate 87 (the Adirondack Northway) runs the length of the county, connecting Glens Falls and Lake George village to Albany and the Canadian border.<\/p>\n The nearest commercial airport is Albany International Airport, about an hour’s drive south.<\/p>\n Where is Warren County, New York?<\/strong> What is the population of Warren County?<\/strong> How big is Warren County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Warren County?<\/strong> How many towns are in Warren County?<\/strong> |
