Westmoreland History
Westmoreland is a town located in Oneida County, in the state of New York. It was first settled in the late 1700s and was officially established as a town in 1792.
During the American Revolution, the area that is now Westmoreland was part of the frontier, and there were several clashes between American and British forces in the region. After the war, many settlers moved into the area, and the town began to develop.
In the 1800s, Westmoreland became an important center of agriculture and dairy farming. The town was also home to several mills and factories, which provided employment opportunities for local residents.
During the Civil War, many residents of Westmoreland fought for the Union Army. The town also played a role in the Underground Railroad, providing shelter and assistance to escaped slaves.
