history

The first grant for the area was made around 1780 to a man named Brown, one of the earliest settlers in Jericho . Brown moved his family to the area and named the town Brownville . In the autumn of 1780 he and his family were captured by Indians, taken to Canada and sold there to the British. Before he could return, the grant was reassigned because Brown had not yet paid the fees. The Grant for Johnson was given to Samuel William Johnson and others on February 27, 1782. This was only confirmed by the governor much later, on January 2, 1792. According to Brown, the first settler in 1784 was Samuel Eaton.

In 1894, the Village Johnson was declared a incorporated village . Today the town and village are separate administrative units. Johnson Village is the cultural, commercial and administrative center of the town. The town's educational institutions and Johnson State College , which was founded on the Johnson Academy School in 1828, are also located here. The college is attended by around 1950 students today.
