About Theresa, New York
Theresa is a town of 2,648 people in Jefferson County, north-northeast of Watertown, and the Indian River flows through it on its way northeast. The town takes its name from Theresa La Ray, whose father was one of the original landowners. Long before settlers came, Meadowood Phase people left weapon points, net sinkers and a beaver tooth scraper at Muskellunge and Red lakes, and the Iroquois later hunted, fished and traded along these waters.
Settlement began on January 4, 1800, with a purchase of 220,000 acres from the Antwerp Land Company, and LeRay divided the land into lots. He had mills running at the falls by 1810, but the War of 1812 kept settlers away. After the war he put a bridge over the river in 1814 and a dam and mill below it, and in 1817 the Shurtliff and Ball families bought the first lots. Theresa split from Alexandria as a town of its own in 1841, and the village was incorporated in 1871.
“For eight years he was the "Scourge of Wells Fargo" and committed twenty-seven successful robberies.”
- Smugglers' spare boatsThe first Europeans to stay here were smugglers, not settlers, moving goods along the Indian River. The high falls forced every traveler to unload and carry cargo down to the lower level. Smugglers had no time to haul boats around, so they kept a second flat-bottom boat below the falls and left the first one behind. Early pioneers found those abandoned boats and used them for free.
- Two great firesA fire in 1859 burned two houses, one of them the first house built in Theresa, plus three sawmills, a gristmill, two shops and the bridge. In 1890 a second fire swept the business district, destroying 40 buildings and nearly every business: a $150,000 loss, with only about $100,000 insured. The town rebuilt with newer buildings and a town hall whose ground-floor shop rents funded a village and fire hall and a well-equipped fire department.
- The railroad in 1872Theresa was already a busy North Country place for making and trading goods before any trains came. The Black River and Morristown Railroad became the first line through town in 1872, and in the 1880s the population grew by around 1,200 people as its businesses expanded.
- Black Bart, born near Moon LakeBlack Bart, the highwayman born near Moon Lake as Charles E. Boles or C.E. Bolton, served in the Union Army and then went west to California. Over eight years he robbed Wells Fargo stagecoaches twenty-seven times. Then a holdup went wrong on November 3, 1883, and he dropped a magnifying glass, a fieldglass case and a handkerchief. Those clues led to his arrest. He left San Quentin on January 23, 1888, and was never seen again.
- A governor from TheresaRoswell P. Flower was born in Theresa in 1835 and finished at Theresa High School. He later represented New York in Congress and was its governor from 1891 to 1895. A plaque in Theresa's Presbyterian Church honors the Flower family.
