Burdett Live Cam

The Burdett area in Schuyler County, New York has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. In 1800, the first settlers arrived in the area and began clearing land for farming. The village of Burdett was officially established in 1835, named after the Burdett family who were early pioneers in the area.

The village grew steadily over the next few decades, and by the mid-1800s, Burdett had become a bustling community with several businesses, churches, and schools. In 1860, the Cayuga Lake Railroad was built, connecting Burdett to other towns and cities in the region and further fueling the growth of the village.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Burdett continued to prosper as a center of agriculture and commerce. The village had several mills, including a gristmill, a sawmill, and a woolen mill, and farmers in the area produced crops such as corn, wheat, and oats. The village also had a thriving business district, with stores, hotels, and other businesses serving the needs of residents and travelers.

In the mid-20th century, Burdett's economy shifted away from agriculture as the village became a bedroom community for nearby towns and cities. Today, Burdett remains a small, tight-knit community with a rich history and a strong sense of community spirit.
