Administrative History
Father Isaac Jogues was a Jesuit missionary to the Iroquois, and in 1646 was the first white man to see Lake George. He was killed by the Mohawk Indians later the same year, and was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church in 1930. The Laws of 1936, Chapter 870, set up a Temporary State Commission to select an appropriate site on Lake George for erecting a monument in honor of Father Jogues.
