Oxford

In 1788, Elijah Blackman settled on what would later be known as Cork Island in the Chenango River. Three years later, after a harrowing journey, Blackman’s two oldest sons and 11-year old adopted daughter Polly arrived. The owner of the land, Benjamin Hovey, arrived that same year and named the new settlement Oxford, after his hometown in Massachusetts.https://youtu.be/aXjoZ-c-bTwFunding provided by a grant from Empire State Development.Links:Path Through History: https://paththroughhistory.iloveny.com/WSKG’s Path Through History: https://www.wskg.org/pth
