Salem, NY
From Salem's website:
The Town of Salem is located in Washington County, New York and is situated east of Saratoga Springs and southeast of Lake George on the Vermont border.
Salem was first settled in 1761 by Joshua Conkey and James Turner. As soldiers in the French and Indian War passed through the territory. In 1764 Alexander and James Turner acquired a patent which was soon divided up between the New Englanders from Pelham Mass. and a group of Scotch/Irish Presbyterians from Ballibay, Ireland.
The name of this place was disputed for many years. The New Englanders called it White Creek after the clear creek that ran through the village and the Scotch/Irish called it New Perth since it reminded them of home. In 1788 the New York State Legislature settled the dispute by calling it Salem, a name first used in 1777 for Fort Salem of Revolutionary War time.
West Hebron, NY
From Hebron's website:
The town of Hebron has changed little over the past 100 years. Its picturesque farmland and heavily wooded terrain draws many people who want to live in the area and enjoy the simple, peaceful lifestyle that Hebron offers. Many of Hebron’s grand old homes are still occupied by the same families that lived in them generations ago. The area possesses the type of friendliness and stability that is so hard to find in today’s urban-oriented society. The citizens of Hebron are involved in their community and have made strides to preserve their heritage in the 21st century.
Churches
Hebron has three active churches and many social organizations. Residents are proud of the Hebron Fire Company and the many activities they have. The Hebron Preservation Society is an active, non-profit organization.
In 1864 Hebron was the leading potato producer in Washington County. The area’s gently rolling hills and valleys were filled with farmland much as they are today. Presently, dairy farming leads the way in local agriculture, but many more niche farms have recently come to fruition.
