Shavertown, New York

Shavertown, New York

Shavertown was in Delaware County, New York.

A memorial to the little town that was sacrificed for New York City water supply.

The Pepacton Reservoir flooded four communities -- Arena, Pepacton, Shavertown and Union Grove displacing 974 people. Union Grove used to be between Binghamton and Schenectedy, in Delaware County, near Delhi and Walton.

Pepacton Reservoir was created in 1955 by impounding the East Branch of the Delaware river near the village of Downsville in Delaware County. The impoundment was named after the small hamlet of Pepacton, which was covered under 120 feet of water.
