Schenectady, home to about 68,000 people, is one of the three core cities of New York's Capital Region, along with Albany and Troy, set on the Mohawk River. Its name comes from a Mohawk word often translated as beyond the pines. The city is the long-time home of General Electric, and GE Vernova's power business still employs thousands here.
Union College, SUNY Schenectady and Ellis Hospital bring students and health care workers, and Proctors Theatre, Rivers Casino & Resort, the historic Stockade District and miSci, the Museum of Innovation and Science, draw visitors. I-890 runs through the city and the New York State Thruway (I-90) is just to the south, so billboards here reach Capital Region commuters and travelers.
