Mohawk is a town in Montgomery County, New York, United States.

The Town of Mohawk is on the northern border of the county, west of the City of Amsterdam.

The principal village of the Mohawk was Caughnawaga, which was later developed as the site of Fonda.

The district's western limit was an arbitrary north–south line drawn through "the noses", prominent rock prominences through which the Mohawk River flows four miles east of Canajoharie (on the south side).

During the American Revolution, the town was invaded in 1780 by an army of British-Allied Iroquois and British Loyalists.

In 1993, Montgomery Manor, a colonial estate of Major Jelles Fonda, was purchased by the not-for-profit community, Kanatsiohareke (“Gah nah joe hah lay geh”).

This Haudenosaunee community is led by elder and spiritual leader Tom Sakokwenionkwas Porter.
