The Town of Bombay came into existence by an act of legislation passed on March 30, 1833, which separated it
from the Town of Fort Covington. The town was named as a compliment to Mrs. Michael Hogan, who was a
native of Bombay, India. The first settlers were the Hadleys and the Sanborns around 1803. Later a great may
Irish immigrants settled, coming up the St. Lawrence from Montreal.
