Cohoes Wedding

Cohoes is a city located at the northeast corner of Albany County, New York, USA. It is called the "Spindle City" because of the importance of textile production to its growth. At the time of the 2000 census, the city population was 15,521. The name is believed to arise from a Mohawk expression, Ga-ha-oose, which refers to the Cohoes Falls and means "Place of the Falling Canoe."

The city is on land purchased from the local natives in 1630. The land was once part of the Rensselaerwyck manor.
