The quaint, historic city of Glens Falls is located in upstate New York, north of Albany and east of Syracuse. Due to its location between Fort Henry and Fort William, Glens Falls has been the site of many battles, mainly during the French-Indian and Revolutionary Wars.

The town was originally named Chepontuc by Native Americans, which means '"hard to get around," due to a waterfall that blocked the Hudson River; the city was eventually named Glens Falls, after Colonel Johannes Glen. Glen was allowed to name the town in order to settle a debt with a resident, and the community has been named this ever since. If you enjoy exploring a city with a long military history that's surrounded by some of the best natural sights in upstate New York, then consider one of the RV rentals in Glens Falls.
