I believe the town of Sand Hill became part of Canajoharie sometime after
the Civil War, not sure of date.

Subject: changes in towns since 1865


> I have listed below all the towns (to the best of my knowledge) which have
either been abolished or created since 1865.  Some if this information was
found in the following publications:
>
> County Formations and Minor Civil Divisors of New York State (Salt Lake
City, 1965)
>
> New York Civil List (1855-1863) and its successors Civil List and Forms of
Government of the Colony and State of New York  (1864-1879) and Civil List
and Constitutional History of New York (1879-1891).
