Town of Cattaraugus, NY Website
The Town of New Albion and Village of Cattaraugus have a rich history; the first "white" settlers in the area arrived as early as 1818. Prior to this time, the land was settled by the Seneca Nation of Indians. The Town and Village were originally part of the Town of Little Valley and were separated from it in February 1830. Until this time, the original territory of the Town and Village was an unbroken forest.
