THE DORPIAN, Schenectady, New York, Dec. 21, 1867  

* Rare "Rural Village" publication

Schenectady was once known as ‘Dorp,’ a Dutch word meaning rural village. And a person from Schenectady was a 'Dorpian', hence the name of this newspaper. 
This is the volume 1, number 16 issue. It began Sept. 6, 1867 and seems to have ended on March, 1868. This title is not listed in Gregory's 'Union List of Newspapers'.
Eight pages, 9 by 12 inches, never bound nor trimmed, scattered foxing, good condition.

Background: This single-issue release of The Dorpian (Vol. 1, No. 16), published on December 21, 1867, represents an exceptionally rare artifact of 19th-century New York local print history. Named after the regional term "Dorpian"—derived from the Dutch word dorp, meaning rural village—the newspaper served the community of Schenectady, New York, during a remarkably brief publication run spanning only from September 6, 1867, to approximately March 1868. Its extreme historical significance and rareness are underscored by its complete absence from Gregory's Union List of Newspapers, indicating that few, if any, official institutional copies were preserved. Spanning eight pages, this scarce mid-1860s issue offers an unusually detailed, ephemeral snapshot of post-Civil War Schenectady local news, culture, and commentary that has largely slipped through the cracks of standard bibliographical records.
