History

The site of the village was first settled around 1786, but areas south of the village were settled around 1762. The village was once on high ground next to the Sacandaga River valley. When the Sacandaga Reservoir was flooded in 1930, that valley became an arm of the Great Sacandaga Lake.

Northville was incorporated in 1873, setting itself off from the Town of Northampton. The Conklingville Dam, finished in 1929, brought about the expansion of the Great Sacandaga Lake to the edge of the village.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.4 square miles (3.6 km2), of which, 1.1 square miles (2.8 km2) of it is land and 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2) of it (24.65%) is water.

The village is located at 43°13.5′N 74°10.5′W in the Adirondack Park on a northern extension of the Great Sacandaga Lake. The Sacandaga River enters the lake to the west the village.

The village is just east of New York State Route 30, connected to the highway by a bridge over the Sacandaga River, and is also serviced by County Roads 143, 149, and 153.

The X-Files

Northville, New York was the setting of a 1997 two-part episode of the television series The X-Files. In the two episodes, Tempus Fugit and Max, a passenger plane carrying a former alien abductee, crashed into the ground near the village of Northville. Mulder and Scully were called to investigate after reports of the plane being forced down by a U.F.O. The X-Files team investigates and soon discovers a UFO at the bottom of the Great Sacandaga Lake. The production was only set in Northville; it was not filmed there, although the production crew did research and contact the village government for specific information regarding police vehicles, maps, etc.[citation needed]

The idea for this two-part episode is said to have been based on a Massachusetts Air National Guard plane crash that occurred on September 17, 1986 in the town of Wells, Hamiliton County, New York, which is approximately 10 miles north of Northville. Four planes were involved in the training mission and two of the four crashed into the Adirondack mountains killing one pilot and injuring the other.[citation needed]
