History

Cazenovia was established in 1794 by John Lincklaen, a young Dutch naval officer who purchased the town under the auspices of the Holland Land Company. Some of the first buildings established in Cazenovia were what is now the Presbyterian Church and the company store. The town is named after Theophilus Cazenove, an agent with the land company.

The village was incorporated in 1810 and was the first county seat (until 1817). Many of the village’s historic buildings are encompassed by the Albany Street Historic District and Cazenovia Village Historic District. Also listed on the National Register of Historic Places is the Lehigh Valley Railroad Depot.

The most famous event in Cazenovia’s history was the 1850 Fugitive Slave Convention, organized by abolitionist Gerrit Smith and chaired by former slave Frederick Douglass to consider how to react to Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, which passed days later.

The Lorenzo New York State Historic Site was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in July 1970. This land, located off Route 13 (Rippleton Road), now belongs to the NY State Historic Trust after being bought from the previous owner, George Ledyard, upon his death. There is a school house, mansion, farmhouse, and a landscaped garden that guests can tour throughout the year by appointment or during regular hours.

In 2005, the Cazenovia High School Academic Decathlon team won the school’s first state title, sending the team to the national competition in Chicago. The team retained its state title the following four years, traveling to national competitions in San Antonio, Texas, in 2006, Honolulu, Hawaii, in 2007, Anaheim, California, in 2008, and Memphis, Tennessee, in 2009.

On March 31, 2021 New York State legalized recreational cannabis. Villages can’t limit a resident’s right to possess or consume weed. However, the villages can prohibit retail outlets from selling it. On July 1, 2021, the village board voted unanimously to opt out of allowing retail cannabis sales in the village. It was one of the first villages in the state to opt out.
