History

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

The Sullivan Expedition of 1779 passed through the area, destroying the native settlements of those who sided with the British against America in the Revolutionary War . The first permanent settlers arrived before 1787, but they were regarded as squatters by the first official settler, who arrived circa 1791.

The town of Nichols was established in 1824 from part of the town of Tioga.
