History
The position of the village is at the boundary of White and Indian territory, as imposed by the 1763 Fort Stanwix Treaty. The village was incorporated in 1811 in Delaware County. Deposit is one of only twelve villages in New York still incorporated under a charter, the other villages having incorporated or re-incorporated under the provisions of Village Law.
While the dairy industry is now important, the name of the town is said to derive from its status as a lumber center, when it was the place at which logs were "deposited" for timber rafting south on the Delaware River.
Revolutionary Cemetery, located on Airport Road, features a central monument inscribed with the names of the Revolutionary War veterans buried there, as well as a historical marker stating that it was ''originally an Indian burial ground"; it also contains graves of veterans of the War of 1812.
