Crescent Estates South

History of Clifton Park

The town was created as "Clifton" in 1828 from the Town of Halfmoon. It was the last town created in the county and changed its name to "Clifton Park" in 1829. First settlements in the area were in the end of the 17th Century. The town originally consisted of farmland but when the Northway was built through the town the population and residental and commercial areas of the town skyrocketed. The Town or area was named in 1707 by Naning Harmansen. At that time Nanning Harmansen sent letters to Lord Cornbury requesting letters of Patent for Land he bought from the Indians known as Shenendehowa. He also stated in this correspondance that he wanted the Patent to be known by "Your name of Cliftons Park" This is where and when Clifton Park originated.
