Palatine is a town in Montgomery County, New York, United States. The population was 3,240 at the 2010 census. The named is derived from the Palatinate in the Rhineland, the homeland of the early settlers of this region. The Town of Palatine is located on the north side of the Mohawk River in the northwestern part of the county. [edit] History
The town was formed in 1788 from the "Palatine District" in the newly formed Montgomery County. In 1797, part of the town was used to form the Town of Salisbury (now in Herkimer County). The formation of other towns that eventually were in adjacent counties further reduced Palatine, but the formation of Town of St. Johnsville created another town in Montgomery County. The Palatine Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. [edit] Research Tips[edit] External Links
