The Town of Saranac was removed from the Town of Plattsburgh on March 29, 1824. Russell Case and Ezekiel
Pearce first settled in the area about 1802 with Saranac Hollow, Redford and Russia being the first villages.
The town was named after the river, which was named for an Indian term
variously translated as "river flowing under a rock" or "entrance of a river into a lake".
