History of Lyndonville
The first settlers in the area moved from Yates Center. They came to use the power of Johnson's Creek, which could turn water wheels for mills. One important early settler was Jackson Blood. His unique cobblestone house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. This means it's a special building protected for its history.
The Village of Lyndonville officially became its own separate village in 1903. Before that, it was just a part of the Town of Yates.
