.HISTORY  OF  ELMIRA*

The village of Elmira, (by its original name of Newtown or Newton Point,) was first laid out on a lot of land granted to Jeffrey Wisner, on Newtown Creek, where the first buildings were erected about the year 1790, on what is now known as Sullivan street.

In December 1794, Guy Maxwell, then of Tioga Point, and Samuel Hepburn, of Milton, Pennsylvania, purchased of Thomas White, Lot No. 1 of Great Lot No. 195, containing one hundred acres, for the sum of five hundred pounds, or $12.50 per acre; and laid out a town plot on the river bank, the site of the present village.  The plot was called De Wittsburgh, on the map and in the conveyances.  At the same time Henery Wisner, Esquire, of Warwick, Orange county, who owned lot No. 196, west of De Witt’s patent, laid out his town plot, which was called Wisnerburgh.  The dividing line between their patents was a little west of the street now called Baldwin street.  These names, however, were not generally adopted, but the village continued to be called Newtown, until the name of the town was changed by the Legislature to Elmira, in 1811.  The village had been incorporated by the name of Newtown, in March 1815, and a subsequent act, April 21, 1828, changed it to Elmira.

The town of Newtown was erected April 10, 1792, it having previously been within the limits of the town of Chemung.  Catharine was taken from Elmira in 1798; Big Flats and Southport in 1822, and Horseheads in 1854.  The village is handsomely situated on the north bank of the Chemung, now divided into the first and second wards;  and recently a third ward on the south side of the river, in the town of Southport, has been included within its corporate bounds.  Upon a high hill west of the village, called Fort Hill, is the remains of an ancient fortification, protected on the northerly side by the river at the base of the hill, and on the southerly side by a deep ravine, through which passes a stream falling into the river.  An embankment two hundred feet long and  fourteen feet wide and three and a half feet high still extends along the rear of the fortifications on the west,  and upon it grew large trees when the whites first occupied the country.  Colonel Hendy, one of the earliest settlers, frequently stated that he had inquired of the older Indians, then in the neighborhood, as to the object of this embankment, and by whom erected; but they could give no information on the subject, nor did they have any tradition in reference to it.

The first settlers of the Chemung and Susquehanna valleys were composed of emigrants from Orange county, and the counties of Northampton in Pennsylvania, and Sussex in New Jersey, on either side of the Delaware river, together with many families who had originally settled near Wyoming, in Pennsylvania, under the Connecticut title, who had been driven from their settlements by the authorities of Pennsylvania, who asserted the prior and better claim of William Penn to the territory in controversy, as they alleged.  Those from the Delaware frontier had been engaged in controversies with the Indians in their irruptions into the frontier settlements during the Revolutionary War, and very many of them had accompanied the expedition of General Sullivan into the Indian country in 1779, thus becoming acquainted with those rich valleys.

They were men of great energy, perseverance and farseeing sagacity; there were no pigmies among them;  they were stalwart men, and it might well  be said, as of the men of old, “there were giants in those days.”  The settlement commenced in 1788, and the greater portion of  the pioneers were here as early as 1790.  Very few of us in this age of luxury and refinement can appreciate the toils and sufferings of these hardy pioneers, or what they gave up in leaving the old settlements from which they emigrated, surrounded by every earthly comfort, where schools were abundant, and the sound of the “church going bell” familiar to the ear, to face the privations to which they were subjected in forming a new settlement in a wilderness inhabited by the wild beasts of the forest, or the more terrible red man of the woods.
