City of Plattsburgh is rich in history and played a pivital role in the Revolutionary
War of 1812 because of its stratigic location at the head of Lake Champlain. The
Battle of Plattsburgh occured on Sept 11, 1814 and involved over 15,000 British
Troops and a large Navy Fleet. Badly outnumbered, only 1500 Americian army troops
under the command of Brigadier Alexander MaComb and a small Americian fleet under
the command of Lieutanant Thomas Macdonough successfully defended Cumberland Bay
and defeated the British forces. Today the Battle of Plattsburgh is celebrated
and reinacted between September 7-15th in honor of these Americian heros.
