History

The first people to settle in the Karr Valley area came from Luzerne County, Pennsylvania in 1796. After the legal formation of Allegany County, New York in 1806, the area that would become Almond was initially a part of the town of Alfred, New York. In 1821, Almond was separated from Alfred by an “act of Legislature.”

Notably, the area was not named after the almond tree nut, but rather after the Almond River near Edinburgh, Scotland, from where its settlers came. The village’s residents pronounce the town’s name with the Scottish pronunciation, which is closer to “Ellmund”.

In the early 1800s, Almond “thrived… with many mills and factories popping up along the narrow creek and Main Street.” However, the town’s economic growth was limited by the size of the narrow valley it inhabited, and was reportedly “maxed out” in the 1840s. As a result, new businesses opted to move into neighboring towns like Hornell. By the early 1900s, the town’s economy had stagnated significantly; old factories burned down and owners opted to rebuild in other locations, rather than in Almond.
