Note: LYME1- Was formed from Brownville, March 6, 1818. A part of Clayton was taken off in 1833, and Cape Vincent in 1849. It lies upon Chaumont Bay, in the W. part of the co. The surface is very level. The W. border is deeply indented by Chaumont Bay2 and its branches. The soil is principally clay. There are several sulphur springs in town. Near Chaumont are extensive and valuable limestone quarries.3 Chaumont (p.v.) is situated on the bay at the mouth of Chaumont River. Pop. 306. Three Mile Bay4 (p.v.) lies upon a bay of the same name. Pop. 295. Point Peninsula (p.o.) is a scattered settlement containing 25 houses. The first settlement was begun under Jonas Smith and Henry A. Delamater, agents for Le Ray, in 1801.5 The first location was 2 � miles above Chaumont; but in 1805 the settlers removed to the site of the present village. During several years much sickness prevailed; but this gradually disappeared as the co. became more settled. In 1812 the inhabitants, numbering about a dozen families, built a blockhouse, which was taken and destroyed by the enemy. The first church (Bap.) was organized in 1816.6 1 Name selected by Eben. Kelsey, a native of Lyme, Conn. 2 Name derived from Le Ray Chaumont. Upon old maps this bay is named "Niahoure," " Niaoure," and "Nivernois." The name is probably derived from that of the Duc de Nivernois, a French nobleman. 3 The limestone quarries of this place have furnished large quantities of stone for the piers at Oswego, locks on the canal, and for other public works. 4 Name given for its being 3 miles W. of Chaumont. This bay is celebrated for its fisheries. In 1856, $90,000 worth of fish were taken, consisting principally of "ciscoes" (lake herring) and whitefish. It has been the seat of considerable ship building. 5 Among the first settlers were Richard M. Esselstyn, T. Wheeler, Peter Pratt, and Jonas David and Timothy Soper. James Horton was the first settler on Point Salubtious, in 1806. 6 The census reports 6 churches; 2 M.E., 2 Bap., Presb., and Free W. Bap.
