The Village of Argyle, New York, in the Town of Argyle, is named after Argyll shire, Scotland (now Argyll and Bute, Scotland). Many of the original setters came from Scotland and settled here in the mid-1700s. German, Irish, Dutch and Polish settlers were also attracted to this area. The 1800s found Argyle residents active in the Underground Railroad and abolitionist movement. The Moses Kill provided waterpower for mills in the village. The early 1900s brought a library and running water to residents, who proudly served their country in times of war. Today, Argyle Village is considered home by the descendants of these folks and newcomers alike.

IMPORTANT: December 6th will be the start of the archeological site survey in the village of Argyle for the waste treatment plant. Site surveyors will be asking property owners for permission to check their property for artifacts. Property owners have the right to decline to give permission. The Board encourages all to participate because this will put us one step closer to our goal of building a waste treatment facility. We thank you, in advance, for your support.
