The Edmeston Township, in Otsego County, extends to the West as far as the Unadilla River (a line that was established by the treaty of Fort Stanwyx between the English and the Indians). The name of Edmeston was derived from the Edmeston brothers, Robert and William, who had been granted patents in what is the northwest corner of the Township. The hamlets of West Edmeston and South Edmeston are situated in the Unadilla Valley, while the hamlet of Edmeston lies in the Wharton Valley. Earlier settlers came from New England; for most of the settlers, it was planned as a stopover on their way west. A strong Baptist influence came with the settlers. Universalists, Methodist and Catholics soon arrived.
