History
In 1889, the hamlet of Ticonderoga was incorporated as a village within the town of Ticonderoga, but in 1992 residents voted to dissolve the village. The area is an important location for the production of paper and the mining of graphite; the familiar yellow "Ticonderoga pencils" were named after the graphite mines.
Fort Ticonderoga, near the hamlet on Lake Champlain, (the hamlet is on Lake George), was a military outpost that fell into disrepair. The modern fort was built on its ruins.
The 1988 publication, "Ticonderoga (Village) Multiple Resource Area", presents a history of the village and its historic sites.
The Lake George Steamboat Company continues to operate steamboats from Ticonderoga.
