From History of Tioga, Chemung, Tompkins and Schuyler Counties, New York (1879).
General William Himrod came to town in 1802 from Easton, Pennsylvania and bought the south half of lot No. 55, afterwards known as "Himrod's Settlement."
He raised a regiment of soldiers during the War of 1812 and died in 1813.
His descendants still live in the area.
