Description

Warrensburgh, N.Y. Burleigh Lithographing Establishment.

This bird's-eye view map of Warrensburg, New York was drawn and published by L. R. Burleigh in 1891. Originally spelled with an "h", Warrensburg is a town along the Hudson River just west of Lake George. Warrensburg was named after settler James Warren who came to the area in 1804. Warren first was proprietor of a tavern until building his "Ashery", a vast potash factory on the north side of the Schroon River. When Warren was drowned while crossing the West River on a skiff, his son Nelson was with him and the boy of ten was so frightened by the fatality that his hair turned white. When the town was organized in 1813, the citizens honored Warren by naming the town after him.

The community with its pine forested mountains and the swift Schroon River enabled several mills to flourish in Warrensburg for years. Joseph Hutchinson built the town's first grist mill on the Stow property at the south end of the Judd Bridge. The mills operated in 1891 by A. C. Emerson & Co. were originally built around 1820 by Dudley Farlin next to the river. The logs would be floated about forty miles downstream to Warrensburg from a holding point above Schroon Lake to the various mills.

The Adirondack House was completed on Main Street in 1825 accommodating up to 40 guests. A. T. Pasko & Son began the town's first mercantile in 1851 on Elm Street. The firm made and sold harnesses and saddle accessories. In the 1880s the town's industries included the Empire Shirt Company producing about 25,000 dozen shirts annually, the peg factory making about twenty barrels of birch pegs daily and the Whitby, Emerson & Edridge clothing works producing about sixty-five pairs of pantaloons daily.

The panoramic map from 1891 shows buildings, bridges and clearly labeled streets.
