History of the Town of Pittstown |
Pittstown was erected as a township by patent, July 23, 1761, and was formed as a town, March 7, 1788. Its boundary was changed Feb. 14, 1793. It lies in the center of the w. part of the co. Its surface is mountainous in the s. and e. and declines into a moderately hilly region in the n. The highest summits, in the s. e., are 800 to 1,000 feet above tide. The soil is principally a gravelly and slaty loam. Flax is extensively cultivated1, and there are several manufactories in town.2 Johnsonville (p.v.) contains 35 houses, Tomhannock (p.v.) 40, Raymertown (p.v.) 27, Pittstown Corners (Pittstown p.o.) 22, Boynton 20, Pittstown Station (Valley Falls p.o.) 16, North Pittstown 20, and Cooksborough (Haynerville p.o.) 10. Shermans Mills is a hamlet. Settlement was commenced about 1650.3 The first church (Bap.) was formed in 1784; Elder Isaac Webb was the first preacher.4
1 The census of 1855 reports that, in 1854, more than 250,000 lbs. of flax and 7,000 bush. of flaxseed were raised, and that there were 13 flax mills in town.
2 There are two manufactories of cotton bags at Shermans Mills, a paper mill at Valley Falls, and manufactories of cordage and axes at Johnsonville.
3 Wm. Prendergast, Stephen Hunt, and Edmund Aiken were among the first settlers near Johnsonville; Ludovicus Viele at Valley Falls, in 1772; and Christian Fisher and Michael Vandercook at Cooksborough. In 1770, Wm. Shepard (from New England) settled on 500 acres; in 1778-80, Benj. Aiken (from Dutchess co.) on 950 acres; and in 1785, Alex. Thompson, on 500 acres. Wm. Hammond kept a school at N. Pittstown in 1785, and Rebecca Thompson at Sherman Mills in 1789.
4 The census reports 15 churches: six Methodist Episcopal, three Presbyterian, two Christian, one Baptist, one Evangelical Lutheran, one Society of Friends (Quakers) and one Union.
Pittstown was created as a township, by patent, July 23, 1761, and was formed as a town March 7, 1788. Its boundary was changed February 14, 1793. It lies in the center of the north part of the county. The surface is mountainous in the south and east, and declines into a moderately hilly region in the north. The highest summits in the south-east are 800 to 1000 feet above tide. The soil is chiefly a gravelly and slaty loam. Flax is extensively cultivated, and manufacturing is carried on to some extent.
The village of Johnsonville is a station on the Troy and Boston R. R. and contains a Presbyterian church, a school house, a hotel, the Johnsonville Ax and Tool Manufactory, a twine and linen factory, a flax mill, four stores, a grist mill, a planing mill, a carriage and sleigh factory, two blacksmith shops and about 500 inhabitants. There are three temperance organizations, viz., Eureka Lodge, No. 784, I. 0. of G. T.; Morning Star Lodge, No. 31; Temple of Honor; and Sons of Temperance.
The village of Valley Falls is a station on the Troy and Boston R. R., fourteen miles from Troy. It lies on both sides of the Hoosick River, in the towns of Pittstown and Schaghticoke. It contains a Methodist church, a school house, two hotels, three stores, a paper mill, the Eagle Mower Works, a grist mill, a plaster mill, a twine factory, a carriage factory, and about 650 inhabitants. The Valley Falls Lodge, No. 856, I. 0. of G. T., is established here.
The village of Tomhannock is situated in the north-west part of the town and contains two churches, viz., Presbytcrian and Methodist; a hotel, three stores, a grist mill, two saw mills, three flax mills, a wagon shop, three blacksmith shops, a harness shop, a cooper shop and about 250 inhabitants.

The village of Boyntonville, in the south-east part, contains two churches, viz., Methodist and Christian; a hotel, three stores, three blacksmith shops, a harness shop, a cooper shop, a wagon shop and about 150 inhabitants.
Pittstown was settled at a very early date. William Pondergrast, Stephen Hunt and Edmund Aiken were among the first settlers near Johnsonville. Ludovicus Viele settled at Valley Falls in 1772, and Christian Fisher and Michael Vandercook, at Cooksborough, the same year. In 1770, William Shepard, from New England, located on 500 acres ; Benjamin Aiken, from Dutchess Co., located on 950 acres, about 1778 or '80, and in 1785 Alexander Thompson located on 500 acres.
William Hammond kept a school at North Pittstown in 1785, and Rebecca Thompson taught at Sherman's Mills in 1789.
The first church (Baptist) was organized in 1784; Elder Isaac Webb was the first preacher.
The farm now owned and occupied by Leo V. Reed was purchased at a very early day, by a man named Tinsler, of an Indian chief. The tract contained about 180 acres, for which he gave an ax.
In looking over the files of the Northern Budget, in the Library of the Troy Young Men's Association, the following reminiscence of Pittstown was discovered:
| "THIEVES TAKE NOTICE! "The thievish brood, both small and great, Who pilfer early, pilfer late, Remorseless, graceless, shameless, cruel, My timber, fit for sale or fuel, Namely, my beeches, maples, walnuts, And trees which bear, spontaneous, all nuts, Had better be a little easy, Or else, I trow, they'll soon feel queasy. Should they hereafter hew and hack, I'll frighten all the filching pack With thing that many a rogue has bit, Which vulgar people call a writ, (Though counselors with solemn air Pronounce and publish and declare A capias ad respondendum) That quickly to the D— I will send em, If they on surface of bare ground, In sheriff's bailiwick can be found, Tied neck and heels, they'll all be dragged (Hand-cuffed and choked, lacerated, gagged) To solitude of common jail, 'Mid hungry demons, fierce and pale, Where luckless wights, at last outwitted, For misdemeanors are committed, Cursing with bitter execration The dreary Sabbath of starvation. J. H. Price, Pittstown, Dec. 15, 1806." |
Whether this effusion had the effect to protect his timber from thieves, we are unable to say, but think they must have been incorrigible if this failed to make them honest.
The population of the town in 1865 was 3,831, and its area 39,513 acres.
It is not known exactly when the first settlers came to the Pittstown area of Rensselaer County; however, it is known they were Dutch. In 1761, after Dutch rule had been replaced by English, a patent was granted for Pittstown by King George III in honor of William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, then one of England's leading statesmen. There is no record of his ever having been in America. This patent comprised the valley of Tomhannock Creek south to Rensselaerville, making Pittstown the largest township in the county with 39,513 acres. The township's present boundaries were established by legislative act in 1788.
The early villages were practically self-sufficient, each with its own grist mill, saw mill, cider mill, blacksmith shop and combined grocery and dry goods store.
Tomhannock, which took its name from an Indian tribe, enjoyed early importance. It not only had the usual industries of a town of that period but also was at the junction for the stagecoach from Bennington to Troy. It was also the intellectual center of the area. In 1869 there were several debating societies where such topics as these were discussed at length: "Whether early marriages are more productive of happiness than those contracted at a later date"; "Which is a greater nuisance to society, a thief or a drunkard"; "Whether man is more influenced in the observance of law by the dread of punishment or hope of reward"; "Is mankind bound by a fatal necessity to act as he does". Although these subjects were never resolved, there is evidence that a flourishing society for the apprehension of horse thieves met with some success.
In 1904 several farms were confiscated and the land flooded to form the Tomhannock reservoir, which supplies pure water for the city of Troy.
By the early 1830s there were a cotton mill (later turned into a paper mill), a grist mill, a flax mill, an oil mill and a foundry. In 1862 a mowing-machine factory was added. There was also a cigar factory where C.A.S. cigars were made by hand.
