About Bennington, New York

Bennington is a town of 3,235 people in Wyoming County, and it covers more ground than any other town in the county. John Tolles settled here in the summer of 1802, at a crossroads that people would later call Hubbard's Corners, Danley's Corners and the Beehive. The land then belonged to the Town of Batavia in Genesee County. It passed to the new Town of Sheldon in 1808, and on March 6, 1818, it became a town of its own, named for Bennington, Vermont.

Settlers arrived quickly. Jacob Wright put up the first frame barn in 1805, and by 1806 more than twenty families had a tannery, a shoe shop and a blacksmith shop. That year Chauncey Loomis paid one dollar per acre for big tracts that took in all of today's Bennington Center. A sawmill went up there in 1807, the same year settlers built the first school house and cut the road through to Sheldon.

  • Clapp's Mills becomes CowlesvilleQuartus Clapp picked a spot four miles down Cayuga Creek, beside a waterfall, and built a sawmill there in 1816 or 1818. His hundred acres or so covered more than half the valley. In 1826 he added the town's first grist mill. Gaius B. Rich came from Attica in 1827 and opened the first store, where the weekly mail arrived. His clerk, Hiram Cowles, became postmaster on March 11, 1831, and the settlement took his name.
  • Scottsville becomes FolsomdaleJohn Fitch built a house, planted an orchard and put up a saw and grist mill here about 1823. David Scott bought the property in 1825, started a store and milling business, and the place became Scottsville. Benjamin Folsom arrived about 1831 to run Scott's store. Scott built a tavern in 1834 and 1835, Folsom later owned and kept it, and the hamlet was renamed Folsomdale for him.
  • A First Lady's girlhood homeFrances Folsom, a granddaughter of John B. Folsom, spent a great deal of her girlhood in Folsomdale. On June 2, 1886, she married President Grover Cleveland at the White House and became First Lady of the United States.
  • Six covered bridgesBennington once had six covered bridges over Cayuga Creek. MGM filmed scenes for its picture "The Great Waltz" at the Ellis-Chesbro Bridge, the last of them. Fire destroyed it on March 17, 1966, and no covered bridge was left anywhere in the state on the western side of the Finger Lakes.
  • The town that never wasOn January 23, 1875, residents met in Cowlesville to split Bennington in two. The Board of Supervisors approved a new town called Elmont by a vote of ten to five on February 25, 1875, but a mistake in the paperwork sent to the state legislature killed the plan in Albany. Bennington stayed whole, and in 1936 the Works Progress Administration paid the labor to build its town hall, which still hosts town meetings.
