The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The name "Halfmoon" is thought to have come from crescent-shaped markings on tree trunks engraved by indigenous peoples marking a trail through the valley.
The first European to settle in Halfmoon was Abraham Elder in 1784, who came from Franklin County. He found an abandoned cabin and stayed there for the summer. The following fall, Elder returned to his family in Franklin County, and they returned in the spring of 1785, along with Elder's brother, David.
