A Brief History of Horseheads

Horseheads owes its memorable name to the Sullivan–Clinton campaign of 1779, when weary Continental troops were forced to abandon hundreds of horses; local Haudenosaunee arranged the skulls along the trail, giving rise to the “Valley of the Horses’ Heads.” Settlers arrived by 1787, and the town officially separated from Elmira and Chemung in 1835. A devastating downtown fire in 1862 spurred brick rebuilding, while the World War II–era “Holding Point” north of the village turned 700 acres into a vital U.S. Army logistics depot, staffed by both locals and Italian Service Units. After the war, the site incubated light industry and, later, the Elmira–Corning Regional Airport corridor. Today the Town of Horseheads blends historic streetscapes, the village’s Victorian Zim House, and modern aerospace R&D clustered around the airport. To see what’s happening now—from board meetings to summer concerts—visit the official Town of Horseheads website. A glance at the Wikipedia overview reveals a community that has reinvented itself repeatedly, yet still commemorates the horses that gave it a name.
