History

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

The community was known early in its history as "Raquetteville." Norwood as it is known today, grew out of the shadows of Potsdam, New York in the 1870s. In 1871 this growing Potsdam hamlet became the village of Potsdam Junction. Villagers later wanted to further distinguish their municipality from the town through renaming; the first proposal was to call is Baldwin, but that was rejected due to a post office of that name. On April 15, 1875, Norwood was selected. The mayor of Norwood is currently Tim Levison.

The Benjamin Gordon Baldwin House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
