History of Deposit
Deposit has an interesting past. It was once a border area between lands claimed by White settlers and Native American tribes. This boundary was set by the 1763 Fort Stanwix Treaty.
The village officially became a village in 1811. Deposit is one of only twelve villages in New York that still uses its original founding rules, called a charter. Most other villages have changed to newer state laws.
The name "Deposit" comes from its early days as a lumber center. Logs were "deposited" here before being floated down the Delaware River. Today, the dairy industry is very important to the area.
