Talk:Clifton Park, New York

Brent Steurwald
Brent Steurwald was a football player at Shenendehowa schools and is a local legend. The football field at Shen is named after him and he deserves to have an article.OSFockewolf 00:02, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I lived in Clifton Park for 20 years and went to Shenendehowa schools, and I've never heard of him.

Locations
There appears to be some objection to naming some locations in this article even though they appear on maps. Whatever is the problem???Stepp-Wulf 00:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC).


 * The locations in question are just names of developments, not actual former/historical political subdivisions/hamlets of the town, and imho, not notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia. However, I would be interested to hear the consensus on the issue.  Leuko 02:31, 30 May 2007 (UTC)


 * To reduce a significant source of revertible edits, why not remove the Locations section entirely? Alternatively, if the Locations section is valuable enough to retain but developments don't belong then the title ought be renamed to reflect the distinction.

Location of Clifton Park
I dont believe Clifton Park is 12 miles north of Albany as stated in this article, I believe the southern border of Clifton Park is only 8 miles north of the northern border of the city of Albany. It's not much of a difference, but 12 miles would actually put you at the border between Malta and Clifton Park148.78.243.26 17:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Date Canastigione was named
"By 1723, the area had grown to twenty inhabitants, and was given the name of 'Canastigione'." Not so! Canastigione is an Indian name for both an Indian tribe, and the broad flats on both sides of the Mohawk River in what is now the southernmost part of Clifton Park Township. The word means "broad cornfield flats." I believe the name Canastigione was in use for the area well before the Europeans arrived! Cf. Becker, Howard I., Canastigione alias Canestigione, Conesijounie, Canestiguan, Nestaguina, Nesigione, Niskayuna : the early history of the formation of that part of Canastigione on the north side of the Mohawk River at Niskayuna including the village of Vischers Ferry and the lower end of Clifton Park, Sartoga County. Rexford, N.Y.: H.I. Becker, 1953. NOTE: A number of book catalogs have the title from the cover of the book "History Ca-nas-ta-gi-o-ne" rather than from the title page, or various combinations of the thereof. (N.b. The name of the book on the cover is spelled differently from the name on the title page.) Whroll (talk) 06:07, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
