Do you know of Fort Orange ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Fort Orange. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Fort Orange.<1>

We found mention of Fort Orange as a community (see Mentions and References below), but haven't been able to determine its location - other than being located somewhere in Rensselaer County, New York.
