About
The Hastings Historian looks after the history of the Town of Hastings in Oswego County, the first town settled in the county. According to the local record, Oliver Stevens built a simple house near the abandoned Fort Brewerton in 1789, marking the start of settlement in this part of Oswego County.
A town historian is the official keeper of a community’s past, helping residents and researchers find records, photographs and stories. Hastings is a small town near Central Square and the Oneida River, so there is plenty of local lore worth preserving.
