History
The first settlers were the Brothertown Indians, a tribe formed from scattered remnants of tribes from New England, led by Asa Dick and Samson Occum, around 1774. They were granted land by the Oneida Indians, for the purpose of creating a new township for Christian Indians. They made their homes around the Oriskany Creek, which provided power for their grist mills. The first white settlers arrived in 1794 and settled in the higher regions, in Hanover and the west hills. The town was formed in 1829 from the Town of Kirkland.
