History

The village is the site where the town was first settled around 1712-1713. Initially known as Weiser’s Dorf, the first Palatine settlement in the Schoharie Valley was established by Johan Conrad Weiser in what is now the Village of Middleburgh. This settlement eventually came to be named after Middelburg, the capital of Zeeland, one of the provinces of the then-Dutch Republic and the current Netherlands. The village was incorporated in 1881.

“Middleburg” and “Middleburgh” have been used interchangeably in the past, as seen on old maps of the area. In the early 1980s the final “H” was added to road signs outside the village. In 2004, the Post Office finally added the “H”. The only “missing H” to be found today is the name on the “Middleburg Diner”.

The historic Middleburgh-Schoharie Railroad was half-based in the village. The Bellinger-Dutton House, Dr. Christopher S. Best House and Office, St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, United States Post Office-Middleburgh, and Upper Middleburgh Cemetery are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Village of Middleburgh was devastated in 2011 by the effects of Hurricane Irene. However, due to a massive volunteer effort led and organized by local residents, the community was able to successfully recover and rebuild.
