GERRY-was formed from Pomfret, June 1, 1812. Ellington was taken off in 1824, and Charlotte in 1829. It is an interior town, lying a little E. of the center of the Co. The surface is a hilly upland, the highest summits, in the N.E. corner, being 900 ft. above Lake Erie. It is drained by Cassadaga Creek and its tributaries, Mill Creek, and several smaller streams. The soil is a clay loam upon the uplands, and a sandy loam in the valleys. There are several sulphur springs in town. Upon Lot 44, S. W. of the center of the town, a gas spring has been found; and the owner, James H. Mix, uses the gas for lighting his house. Bucklins Corners, (Vermont p.o.,) in the S. part, contains 23 dwellings. The first settlement was made in 1811, by John Love, Jr. and Stephen Jones, in the N. W. part. The first religious meeting was held in the spring of 1818, by Elder Jonathan Wilson. The first religious association (M. E.) was formed in 1829, and drew the lot appropriated by the Holland Land Company for religious purposes. They erected a church a little w. from the center, the only one now in town.
