Well then what should I call you people?

All Over Albany, God bless their little hearts, set out to find out what people from around the area are called according to their residence. Troy is Trojans, Albany is Albanians, etcetera. But did you know that residents of Delmar really are Delmartians? And if you’re from Cohoes, you’re a Cohosier!

The winner for coolest resident moniker, though, has to go to Schodack’s SCHODACKERS.

For all their digging, though, most either don’t have monikers or they’ve been lost to time. So I took it upon myself to name the rest. Consider this the final word on all residents of all municipalities throughout the Capital Region.

You’re welcome.
