History of Nunda
The village of Nunda was officially created in 1839. It was first called "Nunda Valley." In 1852, a big fire damaged part of the village. A year later, in 1853, there was an attempt to make Nunda the main city (county seat) of a new county, but this plan did not work out.
A special building called the Union Block was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. This means it is an important historical place that should be protected.
