History
The early population was composed of workers from the textile mills in adjacent New York Mills. The village was incorporated in 1902. On April 5, 1912 martial law was proclaimed to stop rioting textile strikers in Yorkville, Utica, and New York Mills.
Once supported by manufacturing, the area has lost most of jobs in this field. Hyosung USA operated a 240,000 square foot reinforced fabric lining plant on 2214 Whitesboro Street. Formerly Utica Converters, the plant was acquired by Hyosung in 2008 and closed in 2013 laying off 85. Built in 1908, the plant was once a Goodyear plant.
