Stillwater is a town in Saratoga County New York (NY). The area was occupied by Iroquois and Mohican natives when the colonial period began. In 1709, Peter Schuyler built Fort Ingoldsby in the town because of its location on the frontier of the French and Indian Wars. A replica of Schuyler's fort currently serves as the Stillwater Blockhouse Museum. Settlers began arriving after 1730.

During the American Revolution, residents participated in the war, and part of the Battle of Saratoga was fought in the town so that the town now refers to itself as the turning point of the American Revolution. Stillwater was established as a town in 1791, when Saratoga County was formed. In 1816, the community of Stillwater set itself off from the town by incorporating as a village. Another small part of the town was lost in 1859 when Mechanicville became a village.
