History of Taberg
Taberg got its name from a town in Sweden that was famous for iron mining. This New York hamlet was built near the east branch of Fish Creek. This area is now part of southeastern Annsville.
Early Life in Taberg
When Taberg was first settled, it had three churches. These churches belonged to the Baptist, Methodist, and Presbyterian faiths. The first official count of people living there, called a census, showed about 350 residents.
Iron Mining and Manufacturing
In 1809, a company called the Oneida Iron and Glass Company started working in Taberg. During the War of 1812, this company made important items. They produced shot and shell for the United States Army.
After the war ended in 1815, the company changed what it made. They started producing "hollow ware." This means they made cast iron pots, kettles, and other cooking items. They continued this business until 1865.
Later Industries and Landmarks
Today, a large tannery is located near where the old iron factory used to be. A tannery is a place where animal hides are turned into leather. Another important historical spot in the area is the Old Taberg Cemetery.
Taberg Station
There is also a place called Taberg Station. This is another small community located about 11 miles northeast of Rome. It was once a stop on the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburgh Railroad.
