While he may not have inspired quite as many monuments as, say, Washington or Lafayette, NYU's founder, Albert Gallatin—the Swiss aristocrat turned American revolutionary, US Senator, member of the House of Representatives, Treasury Secretary, and diplomat—has a surprising number of things named after him, from a mountain range in Montana to a residence hall at Harvard. In honor of his birthday—January 29—this year, we compiled a list of just some of the places that bear Gallatin's name, perhaps a fitting tribute to the ultimate renaissance man whose accomplishments include having helped map out the Lewis and Clark expedition. (Yes, really.) Wish him a happy 260th by reading up about his remarkable career—and, if there's anything with Gallatin's name on it where you live, send a photo to nyustories@nyu.edu for a chance to be featured!
