The village area was first settled around 1791 and began to flourish after the arrival of the Whitney family around 1800.

The Village of Whitney Point (originally called "Whitney's Point") was incorporated in 1871. A catastrophic fire almost destroyed the village in 1897.

This collection is dated to 1896, a year prior to the horrible and historic fire in Whitney's Point.
