Auriesville is a hamlet on the south bank of the Mohawk River, in the northeast part of the Town of Glen, New York, about forty miles west of Albany.
Auries was the name of the last Mohawk who lived there, and from this the present designation was formed. It was known among the American Indians as Ossernenon, also Gandawaga and Caughnawaga, the latter being given to the settlement on the St. Lawrence opposite Lachine which was established for the Iroquois converts to Christianity who wanted to withdraw from 'moral corruption' by their pagan kinsmen.
