Saratoga is a town in Saratoga
County, New York, United States. The population was 5,141 at the 2000 census.
It is also the commonly used, but not official, name for the neighboring and
much more populous city, Saratoga Springs. The major village in the town of
Saratoga is Schuylerville which is often, but not officially, called Old
Saratoga. Saratoga contains a second village named Victory.
Saratoga is a corruption of
a native American word from the Mohawk language. It was the name of Indian
hunting grounds located along both sides of the Hudson River. According to
unnamed sources, it derives from 'Se-rach-ta-gue' meaning 'the hillside country
of the quiet river'; however, according to Mithun[who?], it is derived from
sharató:ken, which means "where you get a blister on your heels."
Saratoga is located on the
eastern border of the county and is located east of Saratoga Springs, and is
bordered by Saratoga Lake and the Hudson River.
