History

The village was founded by Johann Myndert Wemple (1766–1837) and was formerly called Wempsville.

Wampsville was chosen as the seat of Madison County because neighboring Oneida, to the east, and Canastota to the west both wanted the distinction and could not reach a resolution. The county courthouse faces north so that it does not face either locality.
