Town of Van Buren Clerk Archival Records Listing

The Town of Van Buren was set off from Camillus March 26, 1829. It was named in honor of President Martin Van Buren who was then governor of New York State. Half of the Village of Baldwinsville lies in Van Buren, plus the hamlets of Warners and Memphis. Located on the Southern banks of the Seneca River, The Town of Van Buren is home to lock #24, which is among the busiest in the 524-mile Historic Erie Canal System. This river has been the life-blood of the community since its earliest days. Today's Van Buren and area communities offer many services and amenities, which make it an attractive place in which to work and live.
