The Town of Beekmantown was taken from the Town of Plattsburgh on February 25, 1820.
It was named after William Beekman who was granted the patent with 29 others on March 27, 1769.
The original Beekman Patent was a strip about 4 miles wide and ran east to west from Lake Champlain above
the Town of Plattsburgh.  The first settlers were Maj. Benjamin Mooers and seven associates.
