REDFIELD----was taken from Mexico, as part of Oneida co., March 14, 1800.8 It is the N.E. corner of the co. Its surface is hilly in the S., but in the N. it spreads out into a high, rolling plateau 800 to 1,000 feet above tide. A wide intervale extends along the course of Salmon River, which stream drains nearly the whole town. The underlying rock is gray limestone, and the soil is generally a thin and moderately fertile gravelly loam. The soil of the intervale is a deep, sandy loam of good quality. The greater part of the town is still unsettled, and the uplands are frosty and forbidding regions. Center Square, (Redfield p.o.,) situated on Salmon River, is the S. part of the town, contains 2 churches and about 30 houses. Greenborough is a p.o. in the N. W. part. The settlement of the town was commenced in 1798, by immigrants mostly from Conn.9 The first church (Cong.) was organized with 19 members in 1802, by Rev. Joshua JOHNSON. There are now 2 churches in the town
