  History of Thurman (Athol), Warren County, New York Thurman became a township in 1792. It once consisted of all of Warren County, with the exception of Luzerne and Queensbury. It was settled by Scotsmen and was first given the name of Athol. Some of its most prominent settlers were Griffin's, Cameron's, Frost's and McElwan's. Many of the people settled here because of land grants given out by the Revolutionary War. John Thurman, whom Thurman is named after, used to go to New York City and advertise land for sale in Thurman and Johnsburg. As far as we can learn it worked fairly well.
  By 1820 there were about 1,100 people living in Thurman. Many of the settlers came with very little to their name, trying to make a better life for themselves and their families. The land was reasonable and it was the promise of a new start.
  Farming was the main industry in the early days, but the land was rocky and hard to work. Yet because of the type of settlers that moved into Thurman, they prospered. There was also lumbering, and many small businesses like boarding houses and stores.
  Our early industries included maple sugaring, river driving, paint beds, hotels, lumbering, blacksmiths, trains and many more. Our first church was built 1804 and was Presbyterian. It was built in Athol near Thurman Station bridge. Religion has always been a big part of our town and still is today. There are four active churches in our town.
