Glenmont, New York

Glenmont is a hamlet in the town of Bethlehem, Albany County, New York, United States.

Glenmont is in the northeastern corner of the town and is a suburb of the neighboring city of Albany.

Originally a farm town, today Glenmont is home to residential neighborhoods, a busy commercial corridor along Route 9W, and industry along the riverfront.

Both Van Wie and The Abbey were important stops along the Hudson River for passengers traveling by boat (and later steamboat) from New York City to Albany.

In 1804, the Albany and Bethlehem Turnpike's lower leg traveled from Kenwood south to The Abbey.
