Plattsburgh est une petite ville au nord de l'État de New York, dans le comté de Clinton. Sa population était estimée lors du recensement de 2000 à 18 816 habitants. Fondée en 1785, la ville tient son nom de Zephaniah Platt, un des premiers propriétaires terriens de la région.

Le village est contiguë de Plattsburgh, et est desservie par le nouvel aéroport international de Plattsburgh, inauguré le 27 avril 2007. Sur les bords du lac Champlain, elle fait face à l'État voisin du Vermont.

Histoire

Le village fut fondée en 1785. Des morceaux de son territoire ont servis à former les village de Peru (1792), Beekmantown (1820), Saranac (1824) et Schuyler Falls (1848). La bataille du lac Champlain de la guerre de 1812 y a été disputée.
