History
Settled in the late eighteenth century, the village was incorporated in 1853. Water power from Nine Mile Creek attracted mill development (wool, paper, and gunpowder) while the Seneca Turnpike (image above), passing through the village center, provided access.
The Dan Bradley House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
