ALEXANDRIA.

Located on the Auburn road, five miles north of Troy, was surveyed and laid out in 1822, and was the second place where the county seat was established. The plat is not recorded. It was the best planned town ever laid out in the county. The streets were broad, crossing at right angles. There were spacious public squares, parks and reservations for public buildings. As the county seat remained there only a short time, it did not become a place of importance, and it now exists only on paper.
