History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The town was founded in 1793 and was part of a land investment by wealthy Briton William Pulteney. It was created along with Steuben County in 1796 and became a mother town of the county, eventually yielding land to seven later towns.

In 2004 Charles R. Mitchell and Bath resident Kirk W. House produced a historic photo book, Bath, in the Arcadia Publishing "Images of America" series.
