to the Town of Chateaugay webpage. Chateaugay was established in 1799 as a French settlement. It is located between the northern edge of New York's 6 million acre Adirondack Park and Quebec, Canada. Chateauguay boasts a stellar school system, many locally owned businesses and a location that is well suited to creatively use natural resources such as farming and green power as an economic engine.
With a tradition of farming and hard work, Chateaugay continues to be a hub for the dairy industry. It is the home of the award winning and internationally recognized McCadam cheese, a division of the Agri-Mark Corporation and Cabot Creamery.
Chateaugay’s placement on the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains also makes it a prime location for green energy such as wind, hydro and bio-mass electrical production. The town hosts Noble Environmental Power and its 71 wind turbines, each producing 1.5 kilowatts of clean energy. It is home to two hydropower plants and Boralex’s co-generation bio-mass electrical plant which produces power from the vast timber resources located nearby
