Boght Corners is an Upstate New York hamlet in northern Albany County that straddles U.S. Route 9. It is located in the Town of Colonie. The corners that give the hamlet its name are found at the intersection of U.S. Route 9 and Boght Road, near the Boght Community Fire District's Station [1]. While Colonie's hamlets do not have specifically demarcated borders, Boght Corners is generally considered to include the areas adjacent to U.S. Route 9 with the Colonie hamlet of Latham to the South, the city of Cohoes to the east, the Colonie hamlet of Dunsbach Ferry to the west, and the Colonie hamlet of Crescent Station to the north.

Some of the earliest European settlements in Albany County were located in the general Boght Corners/Dunsbach Ferry/Crescent Station area, which is usually cited as "The Boght" or "The Boght of the Kahoos" in early colonial documents. ("Boght" is a corruption of the Old Dutch word for "Bay"). In colonial times (roughly 1683-1791), Boght Corners was part of Halfmoon, now a town in Saratoga County, across the Mohawk River; at the time, Halfmoon was still part of Albany County.
