Honor Roll: Riverfront Park, Troy, New York

Troy, New York, is the county seat of Rensselaer County and is known as the "Collar City," due to its history in shirt, collar and cuff manufacturing and other textile production. At one point the city was second only to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in steel production. Today it is home to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and The Sage Colleges.
