History

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

The town was first settled circa 1829. The early industry was based on lumber production. After most of the trees were harvested, farming became predominant. Because the town was set at the conjunction of five roads, including New York Route 3, it became an active community.

The town was set off from the town of Wilmington in 1844.

By the end of the 19th century, the town had become the locale for sanatoria intended for tuberculosis (TB) cures. Dr. Edward Trudeau, in 1884, was one of the first to establish a sanatorium within the town, near the village of Saranac Lake.
