History

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

The town formed in 1820 from parts of the towns of Delhi, Stamford, and Middletown. The town's population was around 1,200 at its creation, but after reaching a peak in the 1840s, it steadily declined. The town became noted for the quality of its dairy products, especially butter, in the late 19th century.

The Burns Family Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
