History

In the late Woodland period, the area was considered to be the winter hunting grounds for the Mohawk and Algonquian tribes. Slowly, the area became attractive to settlement as good were transported through the “Great Carry” (now Route 9), between Glens Falls and Fort Edward.

In 1766, the Daniel Parks family was the first family to settle into the area after receiving 800 acres (3.2 km) of land, on which they built a house and a saw mill. By the mid-1830s, the settlement boasted saw mills, a grist mill, a cotton mill and a quarry as well as a dock to facilitate commerce.

The Village was formally incorporated in 1895 as a result of an effort to form a public water system.

The Historical Society of Moreau and South Glens Falls is housed in the Parks-Bentley House, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
