Historical Context
The Napanoch Axe & Iron Company was incorporated in New York in 1866, having purchased the Leverett Axe Factory property.
The company produced a varity of items, including pen knives used to sharpen quill pens for writing, fishing knives, shoe knives, switchblades, and axe heads.
The company also made hammered bar iron, which was sold in New York and New Jersey to locomotive builders.
The company was later succeeded by MM Pillsbury.
Napanoch is located in Ulster County, New York, about 100 miles north of New York City. "Napanoch" is from the Munsee dialect of the northern Lenape, and is thought to mean land overflowed by water. It is from the original deed to that area. Old Route 209 and Main Street follow the Minisink Trail, the Lenape path between the Hudson and Delaware Rivers. Louis Bevier, the New Paltz patentee, bought the area for two of his sons, Jean Bevier and Abram Bevier in 1705 or 1706.
The Hoornbeek Store Complex and Ontario and Western Railroad Passenger Station are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The imposing Eastern Correctional Facility was built by the state in 1900 as a reformatory. Since 1973 it has been a maximum security prison for men.
