 "Herkimer
Village" by Susan Perkins and Caryl Hopson -
a pictorial history of the village of Herkimer, published by Arcadia Publishing
for their Images of America series. The village of Herkimer,
incporporated on April 6, 1807, was the first village in Herkimer County.
First settled by the Palatine Germans in 1725, the village's location
at the juncture of the Mohawk River and West Canada Creek made it the
focal point of the county and it was designated the county seat. The village
population grew with the development of mills and factories, prompting
the construction of elaborate homes, churches, diverse shops, and the
New York Central Railroad, which ran directly through the village center.
Herkimer Village provides a snapshot of the daily life and important
events in this village's colorful and dynamic history. Cost is
$21.99.
