History
The hamlet of Clark Mills, part of modern-day Town of Kirkland, is named for the Clark Mills Company, a textile mill on Oriskany Creek, and its founders: Ralph, Ammi, and Eneas Clark. The family business was established around 1845 and flourished for several years. In 1891 the company name changed to the Hind & Harrison Plush Co. and remained in operation until its closure in 1949.
St. Mark's Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
On June 22, 2025, the hamlet was struck by a deadly high-end EF1 tornado. It downed dozens of trees, including some that fell on and heavily damaged homes. Three people were killed, which made this the second deadliest tornado in the state's history.
