Town Historian
Williamstown----was
formed from Mexico, as part of Oneida co., March 24, 1804. Richland
was taken off in 1807, and Amboy in 1830. It lies near the center
of the E. border of the co. The surface is undulating in the
s., but broken and stony in the w., and moderately hilly in the E.
It is drained by Fish Creek, flowing into Oneida Lake, and the head branches
of Salmon River. The surface of Fish Creek at Williamstown Mills,
in the S. E. part, is 354 feet above Lake Ontario, and the hills in the
N.E. are 200 to 300 feet higher. The greater part of the town is
yet unsettled. The soil is a moderately fertile sandy or gravelly
loam. Lumber and leather are the principal manufactured products.
Williamstown,
(p.v.,) on Fish Creek, in the S. part, is a station on the W. & R R.R.
Pop. 240. Kasoag, (p.v.,) a little W. of the center, is a
station on the W. & R.R.R. and contains about 25 houses.
