History

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

The town was formed from part of the town of Chateaugay in 1805. The town was originally named "Harison", after Richard Harison, who had purchased the land and founded the town. The name was changed in 1808 to "Ezraville", after Ezra L'Hommedieu, and in 1812 to "Malone".


During the War of 1812, the village was sacked by British troops making incursions from what would become Canada.

Former Governor Mario Cuomo instituted financial measures to increase economic stability to the county by bringing in many prisons (state and federal).

In the 1975 film Night Moves, Paula (Jennifer Warren) says she grew up in Malone. She claims that Benjamin Franklin slept there.

Between 1901 and 1958, a commuter train service run by the New York Central Railroad connected Malone with Montreal, Quebec.
