| | History of Nanticoke, New York |
 | | When the township of Lisle was set off from Union in 1801, Nanticoke went with it and remained a part of that township until April 18, 1831, when by an act of the Legislature a new township to be known thereafter as Nanticoke, an Indian name, was erected. |
 | | In 1835, Nanticoke numbered 295; in 1850, 576; in 1860, 797; in 1870, 1,058; in 1880, 999; in 1890, 728; in 1900, 666; in 1910, 536; in 1920, 444. |
 | | Many homes along the Nanticoke valley have already been wired for electricity, and it may be possible that before this history is published the current will have been turned on and the people will be in the enjoyment of this modern innovation. |
