History
The first White settler arrived c. 1786, but the community was not founded until 1836.
On November 14, 1957, the Apalachin Meeting was held by the heads of the American Mafia at the home of Joseph Barbara, an Apalachin resident. This was a conference of mobsters who had gathered to iron out various issues in the underworld. The gathering was quickly broken up when a curious New York State trooper turned up and spotted expensive cars at the home. Other police officers quickly arrived to arrest those attending the conference, and sent some of the most powerful gangsters in the country fleeing through the surrounding countryside. Mafiosi and the FBI sometimes just refer to the meeting as "Apalachin". This meeting was humorously portrayed in the opening sequence of the 1999 motion picture Analyze This, which starred Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal. This meeting was also depicted in the 1972 film The Valachi Papers as well as the 2019 film Mob Town.
