About Galway

Galway is a peaceful, rural community tucked into western Saratoga County, offering a quiet country lifestyle just a short drive from Saratoga Springs. Originally settled by Scottish families in the 1770s, it has held onto its historic charm with scenic rolling hills, older farmhouses, and a tiny village center at its heart. Life moves at an unhurried pace here, making it popular for anyone looking for open space, starry night skies, and a close-knit neighborhood feel.

Daily life revolves around a few central landmarks. Kids attend school together on a single campus on Sacandaga Road, while neighbors often run into each other picking up essentials at the local market by the village park. Just west of the village, Galway Lake is a beloved getaway for boating, fishing, and warm summer weekends. Between the surrounding horse farms and the quiet residential roads, Galway offers plenty of room to spread out while staying conveniently connected to the rest of the Capital Region.
