Welcome to the Village of Schoharie. The Schoharie area was populated for millennia by Native Americans, specifically the Haudenosaunee (aka Iroquois) confederacy. In fact the name “Schoharie” is derived from the native word To-Was-Scho-Hor, meaning “driftwood”, a reference to the large driftwood piles that would naturally accumulate in the Schoharie Creek. European settlement began in 1711 when Palatine refugees from the Holy Roman Empire (modern Germany) began moving into the Schoharie and greater Mohawk Valley regions. Winters were hard for the Palatines but with gracious assistance from the Haudenosaunee they persevered, in fact many of the descendants from the original Palatine settlers are still residing in Schoharie County. As crops were sowed, the fertile soils of the Schoharie Valley allowed the Palatine settlers to prosper and soon lead to the construction of mills and an influx of non-German settlers eager to begin farming. Before long the Schoharie Valley had become vitally important to the food supply of the entire northern colonial region earning it the nick-name “breadbasket of the revolution” for its support of Washington’s Continental Army.

The Schoharie area is rich in both colonial and Native American history. Please come explore, peel back the layers of history, and visit our many museums and historic sites.

With a generous donation to our community pool the life guard stand got a much needed replacement. Director Jan Herrick

We currently are in need food supplies at the food pantry! Pasta sauce, soup, canned fruit and tuna and more! We recognizes how important food assistance is in preventing food insecurity and promoting healthy lifestyles in our community.
