History


The town of Wawayanda was established in 1849 from the town of Minisink. It had been first settled after the American Revolution. The name Wawayanda had historically been more broadly used to describe the region, even earlier than a 1769 map,[5] which also shows the line of partition used to resolve the 50-years long New York – New Jersey Line War.
