About Saratoga Springs

Saratoga Springs is a city in Saratoga County, New York, United States. This picturesque area was occupied by the Algonquian-speaking Mahican Natives before they were forced out by Dutch and British colonists. Saratoga Springs was established as a settlement in 1819 from a western portion of the Town of Saratoga. Its principal community was incorporated as a village in 1826 and the entire region became a city in 1915. Tourism was greatly aided by the 1832 arrival of the Saratoga and Schenectady Railroad, which brought thousands of travelers to the famous mineral springs. Saratoga Springs relies heavily on tourism as its main source of income during the summer season while the Saratoga Race Course is open.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Saratoga Springs

Although Jewish fur traders were in the territory that became Delaware as early as 1655, only a handful of Jews, including Jacob Fiana, Abraham Judah, and Jacob and Daniel Solis, settled in the area before the middle of the 19th century when Jewish retailers from families in Philadelphia and Baltimore began opening stores in Wilmington. The oldest Synagogue in the state is Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth, located in Wilmington. A 1995 study estimated that 56% of Delaware's Jews lived in the Wilmington area. Henry Heimlich, a Jewish surgeon born in Wilmington in 1920, invented the heimlich maneuver.
