Northville is a village in the northern part of the town of Northampton in Fulton County, New York, United States, northeast of Gloversville.

[2] It lies within Adirondack Park and serves as the southern terminus for the Northville-Placid Trail.

The village now lies on a peninsula surrounded by the lake, with three bridges connecting it on the west, east and south.

By 1835 Northville had become a regional financial center, and began to attract fishermen, hunters and tourists around 1850.

There were hotels and entertainment halls, and the area was connected by railroad when the Gloversville and Northville (G&N) was completed in 1875 Three years later, the village's population had reached 1,000.

Hunter's Creek was dammed to create a reservoir and watermains were installed on the main streets, becoming available to the public in 1891, and the village's first bank opened in 1895.

The lake came to the edge of the village, while other nearby locations, like Sacandaga Park, were fully or partially flooded.

The timing was unfortunate, coming as it did at the beginning of the Great Depression, and the village struggled to recover its economy in its new isolated condition.
