Warrensburg is a town in Warren County, New York, United States. It is centrally located in the county, west of Lake George. It is part of the Glens Falls metropolitan area.[3] The town population was 3,959 at the 2020 census.[4] While the county is named after General Joseph Warren, the town is named after James Warren, a prominent early settler.[5] U.S. Route 9 passes through the town, which is immediately west of Interstate 87 (the Northway).

According to the 2000 United States census, the town's main hamlet, also recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau as a census-designated place (CDP), constitutes less than one-fifth of the town's total area, yet has about 75% of the town's population.[2] The Warrensburg CDP's population density is more than fourteen times that of the town outside the CDP.[2] The CDP is entirely within the town of Warrensburg with much of the town's historic core including the Hamlet of Warrensburgh Historic District[6] Merrill MaGee House, Mixter Blacksmith Shop, and Warrensburg Mills Historic District.[6]

History

Warrensburg was first settled by westerners in 1786 when William Bond established residency nearby what is today known as Echo Lake.[7] Because there have been limited archeological digs, it is not precisely known what pre-western peoples lived in what is now Warrensburg. But, it is known that the peoples of the Six Nations were economically and politically active in the surrounding areas during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.[8]

On April 4, 1813, community leaders held their first town meeting in a private home and elected the town's first supervisor, James L. Thurman, and several other officials and town workers.[9] Prior to the formal establishment of the town, the settlement was referred to as "The Bridge" because of the settlement's proximity to a bridge over the Schroon River.

Although it is locally claimed that James Fenimore Cooper wrote The Last of the Mohicans in a second-story storefront apartment along what is now Main Street, it is more likely that Cooper had merely visited the town for a short time when working on the novel.[10]

Warrensburg, NY in 1888
On March 11, 1888, a blizzard began that caused a 4-foot snowfall over three days.

In 1894, following the New York State Constitutional Convention, the town was expressly included in Article 7 (today Article 14) as being within the newly created Adirondack Park, making the town part of the state forest preserve that is to be kept forever wild.[11]

Starting on June 16, 1961, twenty-nine employees of the Warrensburg Board & Paper Corporation voted 15–14 to join the United Paper Makers and Paper Workers AFL-CIO. Within a week of the vote, the Corporation reported irregularities to the National Labor Relations Board in an attempt to prevent unionization. In December of that year, the Union and Company entered into a series of negotiations through which the Union succeeded in most of its major demands, gaining agreement to an employee insurance plan, a Union bulletin board, free access to the mill to contact employees, grievance discussion rights, and wage increases. When the Union failed to agree upon what steps to take next, the Corporation claimed the disagreement among members was in-fact a rejection of the Union, and the Corporation refused to agree to a long-term contract with the Union. When the NLRB ordered the corporation to return to the negotiation table, the corporation was sued by the NLRB and compelled by the court to return to negotiations.[12] On July 14, 1974, the paper mill operated by the corporation was partially destroyed by fire.[13]

On April 3, 1976, flooding of the Schroon River, brought on by spring thaws, started to peak. The next day, the reservoir of the dam had raised so high as to completely surround the paper mill with water and cause outbuildings, train tracks, and pollution to be disturbed. Route 418, which runs parallel to the river, and a bridge located about a quarter of a mile upstream of the dam were shut down. The afternoon of April 4, under the direction of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, two mill employees, using a backhoe and bulldozer owned by one of said employees, and aided by several private individuals, dug a ditch in approximately two and one-half hours, to alleviate the up-river flooding. Consequently, there was serious land erosion to the property adjacent to the dam and, the next spring, serious deposits of silt from the erosion was washed onto the Sit'N Bull Ranch and 1000 Acres Ranch, both located downstream.[14]

Since 1979, the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce has been hosting an annual event known as the "World's Largest Garage Sale." During this event, residents and vendors sell their wares in a town-wide garage sale.[15]

The Adirondacks was a prime trapping ground since the cold climate causes animals to grow thicker, more luxuriant coats. The fur trade also sparked a series of Indian wars between different native groups, as each competed for access to the trade and lands providing an ever-dwindling supply of pelts. The Mohawks fought various Algonquin-speaking tribes—who surrounded the Iroquois on the north, east and south—and even, on occasion, some of the other members of the Six Nations Confederacy—a political and spiritual entity that stretched westward across the state and was composed of Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Onondagas, Tuscaroras and Senecas. "The Adirondacks became a battlefield" says Snow, suggesting that the cliché of "the dark and bloody ground" has a modicum of truth.
