Cannonsville

Cannonsville

Cannonsville, NY is a defunct town in Delaware County in Upstate New York. The town was founded in the late 1700s and survived until 1964, when it was flooded to create the Cannonsville Reservoir, which is part of the Delaware System and provides water to New York City. Cannonsville is named after Benjamin Cannon, Sr. He is alternately credited with building the town's first house, and being its first Postmaster.
