History
The site of the village was first settled around 1786, but areas south of the village were settled around 1762. The village was once on high ground between the Sacandaga River and Hunters Creek. When the river was dammed in 1930 to form the Sacandaga Reservoir, now called Great Sacandaga Lake, the river valley became an arm of the lake. The village now lies on a peninsula surrounded by the lake, with three bridges connecting it on the west, east and south. The arm of the Great Sacandaga Lake to the east is known locally as Northville Lake or the "Little Lake".
Main Street was surveyed and laid out in 1797, and the first store was opened there in 1800, and other stores followed soon thereafter. The population, however, grew slowly: by 1807 there were only seven families living on Main Street. The first brick building in the settlement was constructed in 1819.
A post office was opened in 1824 and in 1827 adopted the name "Northville." By 1835 Northville had become a regional financial center, and began to attract fishermen, hunters and tourists around 1850. A map published in 1868 showed that the village was mainly concentrated on Main Street, although there was a residential development on Bridge and First Streets, and a cluster of industrial buildings on Mechanic Street. Second, Third, Fourth, Centre and Grove Streets had been laid out but were largely empty.
