The Hilltowns Haven’t Seen That Much of a Population Boom
Conventional wisdom suggests that the Hilltowns of Albany County have seen a population growth in recent decades.
Indeed, you sometimes see new houses going up.
And there certainly has been some growth since the boom of suburbanization — which followed 20 years latere after the abandonment of farms in 1920s and 1930s.
But generally the area has remained fairly rural.
