Wampsville is a village located inside the Town of Lenox in Madison County, New York, United States. The population was 543 as of the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Madison County. The Village of Wampsville is in the northern part of the county and near the eastern town line of Lenox. [edit] History
The village was founded by Johann Myndert Wemple (1766–1837) and was formerly called Wempsville. Wampsville was chosen as the seat of Madison County because neighboring Oneida, to the east, and Canastota to the west both wanted the distinction and could not reach a resolution. The county courthouse faces north so that it does not face either locality. [edit] Research Tips[edit] External Links
