The city of Schenectady was incorporated by an act of the Legislature, passed March 26th, 1798.

Previous to its incorporation, the corporate property was held under letters patent dated November 1st, 1684, to Ryer Schermerhorn and others, in trust for the benefit of the inhabitants. Schermerhorn, as survivor, conveyed to William Apple, October 21st, 1714, who, on the same day, conveyed to Aaron Bradt and others in trust. Bradt survived the other trustees, and devised the common lands and property to Abraham Fonda and others, as trustees for the inhabitants, and from the trustees the same passed into the hands of the corporation of the city, and was vested in them by the act of incorporation.

The city was originally divided into four wards, called the first, second, third, and fourth wards, each ward electing two Aldermen, and two Assistants, who, with the Mayor, composed the Common Council of the city.

The usual police powers were vested in the Common Council, but no provision was made for the appointment of a RECORDER, nor for the holding of a MAYOR'S COURT. The act of incorporation requires the Common Council to meet on the first Tuesday of May annually, and to appoint a TREASURER, CLERK, and MARSHAL.

The election of Aldermen, Assistants, and Town Offi. cers, is directed to be holden on the first Tuesday of April annually.

The Common Council hold stated meetings at the City Hall on the first Monday of every month.

The first election for Charter Officers was holden on the first Tuesday of April, 1798, and the following persons composed the COMMON COUNCIL at the time of its organization, on the ninth day of April, 1798, viz.

The first and second wards compose what is now called THE CITY OF SCHENECTADY.
