History

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

The town name was derived from the deposits of logs made by lumbermen, prior to forming rafts to float down the Delaware River usually to Philadelphia. The Town of Deposit was organized in 1880 from the western part of the town of Tompkins.


In the 1890s, Deposit was a center of publishing with the relocation of the Outing Publishing Company to the town (from New York). Several magazines, including The Bohemian, were published and printed from Deposit. The Outing Publishing Company went out of business a few years after the failure of the Knapp Bros. Bank in 1909. Charles J. Knapp was president of Outing and on the board of Knapp Brothers, which was run by his nephew, Charles P. Knapp.
