Little Falls, NY

  • This day in history: December 17

    1845

    The first electric communication through Little Falls was the telegraph line of the Utica and Schenectady railroad. A contract was made on this date and the telegraph line was installed in 1846.

    1917

    A good number of recently built US submarine chasers, moving down the canal, stopped in Little Falls on their way to New York City. They will bolster our shore defenses.

    • Many thanks to Louie Baum for his research for This Day in History.
