A Glimpse into Local History

First settled around 1791, Whitney Point thrived following the arrival of the Whitney family in the early 1800s. Incorporated in 1871, the village overcame a devastating fire in 1897 and significant flooding in the 1930s—with the completion of a dam in 1942 leading to the formation of the Whitney Point Reservoir .
