The hamlet is named after John Campbell, 4th Earl of Loudoun and was originally a 19th-century summer resort for some of Albany's wealthiest residents. [7] Loudon Road, known as Old Plank Road in the early 19th century, [8] is lined with several historic Jeffersonian mansions. [9] Loudonville started as a hamlet on Loudon Road (originally a plank road), at the intersection of Crumitie Road. [10] Ireland's Corners was a separate hamlet to the north at the intersection of Loudon Road and Menand/Osborne Road, with a post office. [10] [11] Ireland's Corners is named for Elias H. Ireland who in 1832 bought the heavily wooded area from the Patroon, Stephen Van Rensselaer. [12] In 1871 the post office at Ireland's Corners was renamed Loudonville. [12]
The community is located directly north of Albany and south of Newtonville. The hamlet is centered on the original Ireland's Corners, the intersection of U.S. Route 9 with Osborne Road ( County Route 154)/Menand Road ( NY Route 378) (west bound name/east bound names respectively), with the northwestern corner bisected by Old Niskayuna Road ( County Route 152). Though as a hamlet, it has poorly defined borders, the census designated place of Loudonville had concrete borders.
