New Hartford Town, NY

New Hartford is a town in Oneida County, New York, United States. The name of New Hartford was provided by a settler family from Hartford, Connecticut. The Town of New Hartford contains a village named New Hartford. New Hartford is the largest suburb of Utica, which is located directly north of the town and village.

According to the earliest recorded history (Annals and Recollections of Oneida County, Jones, 1851), Sanger bought 1,000 acres (400 ha), and the land was sold for fifty cents an acre. This land, thought to be separated into two equal parts by the Sauquoit Creek, was part of the Town of Whitestown at the time. Within a year, Sanger sold the area east of the creek to Joseph Higbee, the area's second resident, for one dollar per acre. A subsequent survey found this area was 600 acres (240 ha).

In 1789, Sanger relocated his family to the settlement and erected a sawmill. A gristmill was added in 1790. Both mills utilized the water of the Sauquoit for power.[Another early settler was General Oliver Collins (1762–1838), Connecticut native, Revolutionary War veteran, and father of future Congressman Ela Collins. Collins settled a farm in the area then known as Middle Settlement in 1789 and resided there until his death. Shortly after arriving, he was commissioned Captain in the local militia and rose to the rank of Brigadier-General at the time of the War of 1812. Eli Butler arrived from Middletown, Connecticut, also in 1789. John French (1766–1839) arrived from New Hampshire in 1792 and settled on another farm, as did Colonel Nathan Seward (1758–1815) of Connecticut, also a Revolutionary War veteran.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 25.5 square miles (66 km²), of which 25.4 square miles (66 km²) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km²) (0.46%) is water. The eastern town line is formed by the boundaries of the towns of Litchfield and Frankfort in Herkimer County.
