The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Prior to European settlement, the Seneca name for the area was Ga-ne-o'-weh-ga-yat or "head of the stream".
The area was first settled around 1802 at Angelica village. The town of Angelica was formed in 1805 from the town of Leicester in Livingston County, before Allegany County was formed. Angelica is the oldest town in Allegany County. The town hall is housed in the Old Allegany County Courthouse, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Belvidere was also listed in 1972, and the Moses Van Campen House was listed in 2004.
