Hurstville, New York

Hurstville's earliest settlers were Urban Van Hart, William Gilber, and a man by the name of Hagadorn. Hagadorn built a log tavern which gave this place its earliest name, that of Log Tavern. He also later built a trotting track at the northeast corner of Whitehall Road and New Scotland Avenue. The Albany Municipal Golf Course was constructed at Hurstville. In 1967, the hamlets of Hurstville and Karlsfeld—whose residents wished for access to city water and sewer services—were annexed to the city of Albany. ==References==
