The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Settlement began in 1784. The town was formed in 1819 breaking off from the Town of Middletown. Most of Delaware County, including Andes, became part of the Hardenbergh Patent, a manor which was owned by members of the Livingston family. The name of the town was the result of a jocular suggestion by Daniel H. Burr, who seeing that the new town was to include one of the hilliest sections of the county, said it ought to be called Andes.
