History

A settlement has been located in the general area of the current village since the early 19th century. Early settlers included veterans of the War for American Independence and the War of 1812, who had used their pensions to buy farmland through the Holland Land Company. The village of Perrysburg was incorporated in 1916. Both the village and the town have been spelled “Perrysburgh” in the past.

By 1880, the population of the village of Perrysburg was about 400, with many more living in the surrounding town. It was also a station stop on the New York & Erie Railroad.

In 1910, the city of Buffalo, beset by the public scourge of tuberculosis, purchased almost 300 acres (1.2 km) of land adjacent to the village using proceeds from Mayor James Noble Adam’s personal fortune, for the purpose of establishing the Buffalo Municipal Hospital for Incipient Tuberculosis. The facility opened in 1912 and later became the J. N. Adam Memorial Hospital. The presence of the hospital led to a dramatic increase in the local population with the arrival of medical professionals, hospital workers and people visiting patients at the facility.

Since the hospital closed its doors, a popular local legend holds that a stained glass dome in the Hall Rotunda was salvaged from the Temple of Music at Buffalo’s Pan-American Exposition. However, a visual comparison between the surviving dome and this rendering shows no resemblance between the two.

On March 16, 2010, voters approved, by a 60-9 margin, a referendum to dissolve the village into the town of Perrysburg. The dissolution took effect at the end of 2011. Perrysburg joined Randolph, East Randolph and Limestone among Cattaraugus County villages that voted to dissolve within a six-month span, with all but Limestone having approved their dissolutions on March 16.
