A town on the north edge of Albany, New York, which includes Latham. Take Northway exits 2-6 to get there, or take Rt. 9 between Albany and Saratoga County. It borders Albany, Crescent, Watervliet, Loudonville, and all of America via the Albany International (not) Airport off exit 4.
South Colonie kids think there's a big rivalry between them and the north (Latham/ Shaker High) but the north is so far ahead of them they don't even notice the south, as they are too busy fighting Shenendehowa High in Clifton Park. It features Colonie Center Mall, which is a really good mall but can't compare to the nearby Crossgates in Albany. Latham Circle Mall is dying but their cinema has really comfortable seats.
Colonie also features a lot of good book stores. There is a Borders and a Barnes and Nobles right around the Colonie Center Mall (which has a Waldenbooks, which is also at Latham Circle) and somewhere in the middle is Flights of Fantasy, the best gaming bookstore I've ever been to. The Sanford library is also pretty big.
Don't forget Guitar Center of Wolf Road, I've never seen such a big music store.
When something says "On Wolf Road in Albany" it usually means "On Wolf Road in Colonie."

"THE COLONY" not Colony. Small city near Dallas that has been mistaken many many times as an omish city. Businesses dont last long, the busiest places are the liquor stores and if you went to school at TC High School you are most likely on drugs.

Like the last definition read, a large town in Albany and Schenectady County in New York. There is a rivalry between the North and the South, but unlike the Civil War, we (The South) are, always were, and always will be the superior area. Go Raiders!

An adjective used to describe any person, event, or organization that is associated with excessive alcohol consumption. Derived from the fact that in colonial times approximately three times as much liquor was consumed, per capita, by the population of the United States.
