Horatio Gates came to prominence after he replaced Phillip Schulyer as commander of the Northern Department after the loss of this. During the first major conflict here, the vacillation of a British General to subdue this place fortified with less than 4,000 soldiers, despite having 15,000 troops at his disposal confirmed his appellation as Mrs. Nanny Cromby. In another engagement, meager British forces under Captain Delaplace and Lieutenant Feltham were quickly overrun, "in the name of the great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!"  Captured by Jeffrey Amherst in 1759 it was renamed after the Iroquois word for "place between two waters."
