Americas">British American colonies</a>. It was created from <a href="/wiki/Albany_County,_New_York" title="Albany County, New York">Albany County</a> on March 24, 1772. The county was named for <a href="/wiki/Charlotte_of_Mecklenburg-Strelitz" title="Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz">Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz</a>, wife of <a href="/wiki/George_III_of_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="George III of the United Kingdom">George III of the United Kingdom</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Its boundaries extended far further than any current county. Its western boundary ran from the northern boundary of Albany County to the <a href="/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_border" title="Canada–United States border">Canada line</a>, at a point near the old village of <a href="/wiki/Saint_Regis,_New_York" class="mw-redirect" title="Saint Regis, New York">St. Regis</a>. Its southern boundary was what is now the northern boundary of Saratoga County. Much of western <a href="/wiki/Vermont" title="Vermont">Vermont</a>, then claimed by New York, was also part of the county. Its northern border was also the Canada–US border. Its county seat was <a href="/wiki/Fort_Edward,_New_York" title="Fort Edward, New York">Fort Edward</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-anderson67_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-anderson67-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1777, the <a href="/wiki/Vermont_Republic" title="Vermont Republic">Vermont Republic</a> claimed the eastern section of Charlotte County, in what is currently <a href="/wiki/Vermont" title="Vermont">Vermont</a>. This claim was largely ignored by New York's new state <a href="/wiki/New_York_State_Legislature" title="New York State Legislature">legislature</a>, which voted on April 2, 1784, to change the name of all of Charlotte County to <a href="/wiki/Washington_County,_New_York" title="Washington County, New York">Washington County</a>, NY, in honor of <a href="/wiki/George_Washington" title="George Washington">George Washington</a>, stating, “From and after the passing of this act, the <a href="/wiki/Tryon_County,_New_York" title="Tryon County, New York">county of Tryon</a> shall be called and known by the name of <a href="/wiki/Montgomery_County,_New_York" title="Montgomery County, New York">Montgomery</a>, and the county of Charlotte by the name of Washington.”<sup id="cite_ref-sylvester12_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sylvester12-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1791, Vermont became a state, taking that section of Charlotte County. In 1799 <a href="/wiki/Clinton_County,_New_York" title="Clinton County, New York">Clinton County</a> was created from part of Washington County.
