Horseheads Wedding Resources (more information)

The Sullivan Expedition of 1779 killed weak pack animals here on the return southward, leaving the bleached bones, including skulls, for other visitors to find.

Around 1787, the first settlers arrived, making the town one of the first in the county to be populated.

The Town of Horseheads was formed from the Towns of Elmira and Chemung in 1835. Fairport, the current Village of Horseheads, set itself off from the town by becoming an incorporated village in 1837.

The former Chemung Canal passed through the town.
