See also: Mohawk

The river Mohawk is an important inland waterway of the north of the State of New York. Long of approximately 230 km, it takes its source in the Comté of Oneida and moves towards south-east. It is thrown in the Hudson close to Albany. It crosses the towns of Schenectady, Amsterdam, Utica, and Rome. Jointly with the Channel Érié, Mohawk connects Hudson and the port of New York to the Big lakes.

In the past, the river was largely used for the transport of the goods, of the immigrants between the heights of the Allegheny and the Adirondacks. Its fertile valley attracted the first colonists, and was the theater many battles during the Guerre Seven Year old and the Guerre of independence of the United States of America.
