'The Home of Uncle Sam', 'the Collar City', and the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution, Troy has a colorful and engaging history. Troy celebrates the city where 19-year-old Kate Mullaney, an Irish iImmigrant, organized 200 women for the first all-female labor union (Collar Laundry Union) more than a century ago. It is where Bessemer Steel was first poured in America, where the plates for the iron-clad ship the Monitor were manufactured.
