The Village of Madison is in the central part of the Town of Madison on US Route 20.
History
editThe village was incorporated in 1816. Located on NY Route 20, Madison was a busy thoroughfare for east-west travelers and featured a hotel and resort on Madison Lake. Much of Madison was owned by businessman G.W. Hinman. Many visitors came from the nearby hamlet of Solsville, where the Chenango Canal and the railroad both had stations. Madison is most famous for the Madison-Bouckville Antique Show,[as of?] which takes place in August annually and sees over 1,000 antique dealers and tens of thousands of buyers traveling to Madison to find rare and unique items.
In 2000, Solsville, a half-mile north of Madison, became part of the town of Madison. Solsville is known for its historic Solsville Hotel, which was at one point the town post office, saloon, and ballroom, as well as the old canal house.
