Johnsonville is a hamlet located in the towns of Pittstown and Schaghticoke in Rensselaer County, New York, United States. It was named for its settler, William Johnson.[1]

History

Johnsonville was home to Johnsonville Axe Manufacturing company and a bobbin factory (Johnsonville Bobbin Works) in the late 19th century.

The Baum–Wallis Farmstead, Cannon–Brownell–Herrington Farmstead, and Thomas–Wiley–Johnson Farmstead are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2][3] All three of these properties are located on the plateau south of the Hoosic River, all more than five miles distant from Johnsonville.
