Malta is a town in Saratoga County, New York, United States. The town is in the central part of the county and is south of Saratoga Springs. The population was 17,130 as of the 2020 census.

Malta, along with Stillwater, is home to the Luther Forest Technology Campus, a 1,414-acre (572 ha) site designed for semiconductor and nanotechnology manufacturing and other innovative technologies. This campus includes GlobalFoundries, a company specializing in the semiconductor industry, which in April 2021 moved its headquarters from Silicon Valley, California to its semiconductor-chip manufacturing facility in Saratoga County near a section of the Adirondack Northway, in Malta.

History

Tradition says Peter Drummond and Daniel McAlpin were early settlers, but, as Loyalists, they fled as the Revolutionary War came closer to the area. The earliest documented settlement occurred around 1771, with many of the settlers migrating from Connecticut. According to various sources, Michael Dunning may have been the first, while others included John Rhodes, Jeheil Parks, Samuel Clark, Luther Landon, Dean Chase, Ebenezer Valentine, Ebenezer Dibble, Ebenezer Millard, Obadiah Tompkins, Reuben Doolittle, Cornelius Abeel, Stephen Ireland, Robert Hemple, and William Marvin.

The town, originally called Dunning Street, was formed in 1802 from part of the Town of Stillwater. More territory was gained from the Town of Saratoga in 1805. The name "Malta" is said to derive from a malt brewery in the area that was formerly called "Malt-ville" and is now Maltaville.

The village of Round Lake was founded in 1868 as "the Round Lake Camp Meeting of the Methodist Episcopical Church." Attendance the first year was 8000. In 1869 permanent cottages began to be built, replacing the original tents. In 1969, the community of Round Lake became an incorporated village within the town.

The Dunning Street Cemetery, Ruhle Road Lenticular Metal Truss Bridge, and Wiggins-Collamer House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 31.4 square miles (81 km), of which 28.0 square miles (73 km) is land and 3.4 square miles (8.8 km) (10.71%) is water.

Part of the eastern town line is marked by Saratoga Lake. The Kayaderosseras Creek marks the northern town boundary.

Exits 11, 12, and 13 of Interstate 87 ("The Adirondack Northway," or simply "The Northway") and US Route 9 pass through roughly the center of the town.
