Schoharie County is located in the state of New York, USA. It was established on April 6, 1795, and was carved out from parts of Albany and Otsego Counties. The name "Schoharie" comes from a Mohawk word meaning "floating driftwood," referring to the nearby Schoharie Creek. The county seat is Schoharie, and it covers an area of about 626 square miles.

The area was originally inhabited by the Iroquoian-speaking Mohawk tribe. The region's first European settlers were the Palatine Germans, who arrived around 1710, followed by Scottish, English, and Dutch settlers throughout the 18th century. The rich and fertile lands near the Schoharie Creek played a significant role in supporting the local farming community during its early history.

During the American Revolution, Schoharie County was the site of several important battles, including the Battle of Cobleskill and the Battle of the Flockey. The area was strategically important due to its food production capabilities, which led both British and Loyalist forces to engage in raids targeting the county's crops and supplies.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the county experienced growth thanks to its role in the transportation and industrial sectors, including the construction of the Erie Canal and the introduction of local railways.

Fun fact: Schoharie County is home to the beautifully preserved Old Stone Fort, which was originally built as a Dutch Reformed Church in 1772. The building was fortified and served as an important defensive structure during the Revolutionary War. It now functions as a museum showcasing the history and heritage of the local area.
