Historic Places

The town was settled around 1718 by Palatine Germans. During the American Revolution, most of the buildings in the town were destroyed by British raiders and their native allies.

Schoharie became a district in Albany County before the formation of Schoharie County. As a town formed in Albany County in 1788, it became the founding town of the newly created Schoharie County upon the county's formation in 1795. In 1797, part of the town was used to form the Towns of Blenheim, Broome, Cobleskill, and Middleburgh. The Towns of Esperance and Wright were removed from Schoharie in 1846.
