Saratoga County

SARATOGA COUNTY

Origin/meaning

Introduced in 1972.

Saratoga County’s seal was designed as part of a bicentennial flag.

The Seal depicts the surrender at the Battles of Saratoga in the fall of 1777. The Saratoga campaign is credited with both boosting American morale and persuading France to enter the war.

When the seal appears on the flag, it is circled by 13 stars, representing the 13 colonies.

In 1791, Saratoga County was formed from part of Albany County. The Hudson River borders the county on the north and east, and the Mohawk River forms the southern boundary.
