CANAJOHARIE, Montgomery County. Montgomery county formed March 12, 1772. Canajoharie was incorporated April 30, 1829. A bridge crosses the Mohawk at this place, connecting it with the village and railroad station of Palatine Bridge, 55 miles from Albany and 243 from Buffalo. Canajoharie contains a population of 2,000; the National Bank; the Canajoharie Radii and Tax-Payers Journal, a weekly paper. Passengers take the stage here for Sharon Springs, a place of considerable resort during the summer season. The ride from Canajoharie to the springs, a distance of fourteen miles, is one of the most picturesque and beautiful to be found in this part of the country. The surrounding region is rich in agricultural products, the principal part of which is cheese and hops.
