Troy ist eine Stadt im US-Bundesstaat New York in den Vereinigten Staaten. In der Stadt befindet sich der Sitz der Countyverwaltung (County Seat) des Rensselaer Countys. Das Motto der Stadt ist Ilium fuit, Troja est, was bedeutet Troja war, Troy ist.
Troy liegt am Ostufer des Hudson River. Die nahegelegenen Städten Schenectady und Albany bilden mit Troy zusammen das sogenannte Capital District.
Die Bezeichnung „Collar City“ erhielt die Stadt wegen der Textilproduktion – unter anderem eben Hemden, Kragen und Bänder (engl. collars). Auch die Eisenindustrie spielte eine bedeutende Rolle in der Stadt.

Bearbeiten Geschichte
Vor dem Eintreffen der Europäer war das Gebiet der heutigen Stadt von den Mahican-Indianern besiedelt. Ab dem 17. Jahrhundert siedelten hier Holländer. 1789 erhielt Troy seinen heutigen Namen. 1816 wurde die Ansiedlung zur Stadt erklärt. 1824 wurde durch Stephen Van Rensselaer die Rensselaer School, das heutige Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, gegründet. Im Jahr 1862 wütete der schlimmste Stadtbrand in der Geschichte der Stadt, ausgelöst durch den Funkenflug einer Lokomotive.
