HISTORY

An outgrowth of the Veteran's Vocational School in downtown Troy, the college
was founded in 1953 as the Hudson Valley Technical Institute and initially
provided practical hands-on vocational training for veterans returning from
World War II and the Korean War. The college initially was housed in the former
Earl and Wilson shirt collar factory building on the corner of Seventh and
Broadway.

By 1955, the college's board of trustees was looking for a larger location to
site a campus, and in 1956 announced that the Williams farm, which straddled the
Troy-North Greenbush border, would be the chosen site. The new campus, with five
Indiana limestone buildings, was completed in 1961.

The next three decades saw continual growth at the college, as technical and
health science programs were supplemented with career and transfer program in
business and the liberal arts.

Since its inception, Hudson Valley Community College has been sponsored by
Rensselaer County and is part of the 30-campus SUNY community college system.
