History

The town was formed, along with the county, in 1796 as one of the original towns in the county, but was not settled until circa 1804. Daniel P. Faulkner, a prominent citizen, was popularly called "Captain Dan".

The Town of Dansville was used to form, in whole or part, the Towns of Cohocton, Howard (both in 1812), Wayland (1848), and Fremont (1854). In 1822, part of the town, including the Village of Dansville, was annexed to the Town of Sparta in Livingston County.
