The pass at this place was seized by a detachment of volunteers from Connecticut in May, 1775. Major Skene and his family, with a number of soldiers, and several small pieces of cannon, were taken. When Ticonderoga was abandoned on the approach of Gen. Burgoyne, the public stores were embarked on board of two hundred batteaux, and sent up the lake to Skenesborough, under a convoy of five galleys. They were pursued by a British brigade of gun-boats, and overtaken at Skenesborough. Two of the gal...leys were taken, and the other three blown up. The Americans being unable to make an efBcient stand, set fire to the works, fort, mills, batteaux, and escaped as they could to Fort Ann. Skenesborough was occupied by Burgoyne as his head-quarters for a considerable time, while his troops were clearing a road to Fort Edward. On the heights, overlooking the harbor, are the remains of a battery and block house. The town carries on an extensive trade with Canada. In 1860 the population of the township was 4, 862; of the village, 4, 000.
