About the Town of Lenox Carved from the town of Sullivan, Lenox was established on March 3, 1809, and is situated in the north central part of Madison County, NY. The city was named after Lenox Township in western Massachusetts and for many years was the largest township in Madison County. The first partition of Lenox occurred in 1836 when 5,000 acres in the southeast corner were partitioned to help form the town of Stockbridge. Sixty years later, in 1896, the second division occurred when more than 25,000 acres were partitioned from the eastern and southern part of the town to form the towns of Oneida and Lincoln, respectively. The town of Oneida became the city of Oneida in 1901. The early days of present-day Lenox Township saw the construction of the Erie Canal across its entire width. Canastota, the largest community in Lenox, which bisected the Erie Canal, became an important canal port. By 1840, the railroads would be a competing factor to the Erie Canal.
