The name is supposed to mean "walking slowly" in the native language, related to the slow-moving creek. The area of the town was first settled circa 1816. The Town of Conewango was established in 1823 from a part of the town of Little Valley. In 1826, part of Conewango was used to form the town of Randolph, and another part was used in 1832 to make the town of Leon.
