Swormville, New York

[1] Named after Adam Schworm, a prominent landowner and businessman who built a store on the Clarence side of Transit Road, Swormville has a population of 17,694.

[1] Swormville was originally dubbed "Schwormville," and has also been occasionally referred to as "Swormsville."

Bavarian and French immigrants began settling in the Swormville area during the late 1830s following a heavy migration of German people and the subsequent separation of Alden and Newstead.

John Neumann, a Catholic missionary, founded the "Parish of the Transit", now known as St. Mary's.

The community is bisected by Transit Road, NY Route 78, an important north-south highway.
