History

The village was settled in 1752, and was incorporated in 1868.

It is generally accepted that a German grist miller named Jacob Kobel (variated as Kobus, or Coble) built a mill on the Cobleskill Creek. The Dutch word for river or creek is kill, thus the name Cobleskill, for “Cobel’s creek”.

The Schoharie County Sunshine Fair, formerly known as the Cobleskill Sunshine Fair, has been held annually in Cobleskill since 1876. An agricultural fair, it draws tens of thousands of people to attractions such as livestock shows, demolition derbies and tractor pulls.
