| | Seneca County History |
 | | Sullivan, in 1779, came with his troops, and it was but a few years before the great tide of immigration had set in, and the country began to have the cleared lands and homes of the pioneers. |
 | | Seneca was, when these first settlements were made, a part of Montgomery County, passing from this to Herkimer, 1791; to Onondaga, in 1794; then in Cayuga, 1799; from which it separated, March 24, 1804, when the laws of its incorporation were signed by Governor Clinton. |
 | | As reduced by the changes and as it now is, the length of Seneca is thirty-two miles, the width ten, area nearly 200,000 acres, with two county seats fifteen miles apart, at Ovid and Waterloo. |
