History
The area was within the territory of the Mohawk people when Europeans first entered the region. Palatine Germans began settling the area in the early 18th century.
The community was first settled circa 1775. Accounts vary as to the etymology of the name, but most of these credit Alexander St. John, an early surveyor and commissioner, while still others credit an early name for the area, St. John's Church.
A small battle was fought during the American Revolution in 1780 near Fort Klock, which lies to the east of St. Johnsville.
