Chenango County History
The original inhabitants of Chenango County were nomadic Native Americans of the Archaic Period (6000 BC – 700 BC) or earlier, who fished along the Chenango River re-using campsites over hundreds of years. Archaeologists have excavated a small village on the White Site near Norwich which has been carbon dated approximately AD 950. This site is one of the largest and best examples of the Hunter’s Home Phase of Indian occupation in the state. When European settlers arrived, the Chenango Valley had long been the traditional hunting and fishing grounds of the Oneida Iroquois.
