== History ==
==By class==
The first exploration of Columbia County was in 1609, when [[Henry Hudson]], an explorer, sailed across the Atlantic, and up the [[Hudson River]]. An accident to his craft forced him to stop at what is now known as Columbia County, and search around for food and supplies.<ref name="disc1">{{Cite web|author=Columbia County, NY.com|title=History of Columbia County, New York|year=|publisher=|accessdate=2008-02-11|url=http://www.columbiacountyny.com/history.html}}</ref> The [[Native Americans in the United States|Americans]] that had lived there were the [[Mahican|Mohican Indians]]. In 1612, a trade was established to colonize regions of the land. This led to the creation of Fort Orange (today Albany)and New Amsterdam (today the city of New York). This allowed traders to stop along the shores of the Hudson, which led to the growth of small settlements that were intended to supply the trader's ships with supplies.<ref name="disc1">{{Cite web|author=Columbia County, NY.com|title=History of Columbia County, New York|year=|publisher=|accessdate=2008-02-11|url=http://www.columbiacountyny.com/history.html}}</ref>

==By region==
==Government and Politics==
===Northern Thailand===
Columbia County government is controlled politically by Republican elected officials as it has been for decades. But from 1996 - 2007 new voter registrations by Democrats have outpaced those by Republicans by a margin of 4 to 1. <ref name="test"> [http://www.elections.state.ny.us/EnrollmentCounty.html].|New York State - Board of Elections - Enrollment by County</ref> This substantial shift in party affiliation is due in large part to an influx of people from New York and other cosmopolitan locales who now live either full or part-time in Columbia County. The rise in the number of Democrats has resulted in there being a virtual tie in the numbers of Democrats, Republicans and those not registered in a political party in Columbia County. In 2006 [[Kirsten Gillibrand|Kirsten Gillibrand (D-Hudson)]] scored a major upset unseating three-term incumbent Republican Congressman, [[John Sweeney|John Sweeney (R-Troy)]]. In the 2007 election cycle, Democrats came within 2 seats of taking control of the Board of Supervisors

====Chiang Rai====
The Board of Supervisors under the leadership of Supervisor Art Baer (R-Hillsdale) is functioning in a coalition government of sorts, with members in the minority having greater access to information and inclusion in process than was provided in most of the past decades. The political makeup of the electorate is at a virtual tie between Republicans, Democrats and those not in a political party. But the trend has been an increase in Democrats and decline in Republican voters, setting the stage for the [http://ccnydems.org Columbia County Democratic Committee] to achieve a shift in power, perhaps as early as the 2009 elections. In the most recent Presidential elections Columbia County is considered a Democratic leaning county. John Kerry won 51% or a 5 point margin over George Bush in 2004.
