From 1795 European immigrants and their descendants settled in what was then the densely forested area of what is now Dansville. Daniel P. Faulkner, from a family who emigrated from Saxony to North America in the 17th century , founded a shop and a sawmill there in the same year. The name Dansville , which was officially mentioned for the first time in 1796 , is traced back to him.
When it was founded, the village was entirely in Steuben County, which established a town of Dansville as an administrative unit .
