Lockport Town Bicentennial Ceremony-First Town Board Meeting Reenactment of 1824

Lockport was formally established on February 2, 1824. There were, however, settlers much earlier. It is said Adam Strouse built the first cabin in Lockport at Cold Spring in 1802. It was a shelter for the mail carrier who travelled between Batavia and Fort Niagara. Shortly thereafter, Charles Wilbur built a tavern for weary travelers. The first town meeting occurred on the first Tuesday in April of that year at the home of Michael D. Mann; Daniel Washburn was elected supervisor.
