After the American Revolution, veterans of the Sullivan-Clinton Campaign – who had waged war against the Iroquois during the Revolution – returned to the fertile lands of Upstate New York to start new settlements.

In 1808, the village was renamed Elmira.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc3PnewhixMFunding provided by a grant from Empire State Development.
