Description
Excerpt from The Story of Old Fort Plain and the Middle Mohawk Valley (With Five Maps): A Review of Mohawk Valley History From 1609 to the Time of the Writing of This Book (1912-1914), Treating Particularly of the Central Region Comprised in the Present Counties of Herkimer, Montgomery and Fulton
The history of the middle Mohawk valley can, for convenience, be divided into four sections.
The first is from its discovery about 1616, to the formation of Tryon county in 1772. This is the time of Indian life and of white settlement.
The second period is from 1772 to 1783, embracing the Revolutionary war.
The third is from 1783 to the division of Montgomery county into Fulton and Montgomery counties in 1838, covering the years of highway improvement, bridge building, canal digging, railroad construction and early town development.
The fourth is from 1838 to the present day, and''it is hoped that teachers and parents will, in future years, carry on this story for the young reader up to the time in which he or she reads this book.
