[6] Warrensburg was first settled by westerners in 1786 when William Bond established residency nearby what is today known as Echo Lake.

But, it is known that the peoples of the Six Nations were economically and politically active in the surrounding areas during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

[10] In 1894, following the New York State Constitutional Convention, the town was expressly included in Article 7 (today Article 14) as being within the newly created Adirondack Park, making the town part of the state forest preserve that is to be kept forever wild.

Within a week of the vote, the Corporation reported irregularities to the National Labor Relations Board in an attempt to prevent unionization.

[13] On April 3, 1976, flooding of the Schroon River, brought on by spring thaws, started to peak.

The next day, the reservoir of the dam had raised so high as to completely surround the paper mill with water and cause outbuildings, train tracks, and pollution to be disturbed.

Route 418, which runs parallel to the river, and a bridge located about a quarter of a mile upstream of the dam were shut down.

The afternoon of April 4, under the direction of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, two mill employees, using a backhoe and bulldozer owned by one of said employees, and aided by several private individuals, dug a ditch in approximately two and one-half hours, to alleviate the up-river flooding.

[14] Since 1979, the Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce has been hosting an annual event known as the "World's Largest Garage Sale."
