Kingston becomes the first capital of New…
September 1777 CE
During the summer of 1777, when the New York State constitution was written, New York City is occupied by British troops and Albany (then the second largest settlement in New York and capital of the newly independent State of New York) is under threat of attack by the British.
The seat of government had been moved to Kingston, which is deemed safer.
However, the British never reach Albany, having been stopped at Saratoga, but they will reach Kingston.
