The Raquette River in the Stone Valley Recreational Area

Colton is a town in St. Lawrence County, New York, United States. The population was 1,451 at the 2010 census. The town, originally named "Matildaville", is named after early settler Jesse Colton Higley.[3]

Colton is in the southeastern part of the county, south of Potsdam.

History

The first land patents were issued in 1776. The first settlement took place in March 1824 near Colton village, in the northern part of the town, by Abel Brown and his son, James Brown. Saw mills were established on the Raquette River, in addition to a starch factory built in 1844.

Colton was organized in 1843 from part of the town of Parishville. Additional land from Parishville was added to Colton in 1851, and Colton was increased in 1876 from territory taken from the town of Hopkinton.[4]

The Zion Episcopal Church and Rectory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[5] The Hepburn Library of Colton was added in 2012.[6]
