On September 18, 2021, Argyle honored its Scottish heritage with a Thistle (national flower of Scotland) Day community celebration after a nearly 100-year hiatus.

The celebration has continued yearly since and now includes a bonfire and fireworks along with scottish games, music, food and drink, and community booths.

The village was eventually formed from lands designated in the Argyle Patent of May 21, 1764, located in Albany County within the British Colonial Province of New York.

From 1870 to 1906 the Clerk's Office was located in the brick building now occupied by the Argyle branch of Glens Falls National Bank.

The Moses Kill, a stream where early settlers built small mills, flows through the village crossing underneath NY Route 197 before eventually emptying into the Hudson River, south of Fort Edward.
