It included all the State west of the counties of Ulster, Albany, Washington and Clinton. Originally it was Tryon county, so named after William Tryon, the British governor of the province, when in 1772 the colonial legislature divided the original county of Albany in order to create two addi- tional counties. The name Tryon was retained only a few short years, the name of the governor having become so offensive to Americans, that it was wiped off the map of the State in 1784. The name of Montg...omery, in honor of the patriotic American general who was killed in the attack upon Quebec, was substituted for that of the obnoxious British governor. 122 HISTORY OF NEW YORK When Tryon county was created in 1772, the seat of justice was located in Johnstown. Previous to that time public buildings had been erected in that place by Sir William Johnson, who founded the village that bears his name, and who was an ardent supporter of Governor Tryon. The court house and the jail were built in the same year that the county was created, and the first term of the court was held there in September.
