German Flatts was established on March 7; 1788; and is comprised of two unique villages. The village of Mohawk was incorporated in 1844; and Ilion soon followed in 1852. With their proximity to the Erie Canal; these villages saw their share of business and industry and flourished as communities. Mohawk was home to a number of famous people; including a treasurer of the United States; a General Motors industrialist; one of the fated space shuttle Challenger crew members; and the two Keno brothers who made antiques a popular obsession on the television program Antiques Roadshow. Ilion is the birthplace of the Remington Arms Company; one of Herkimer Countys oldest industries that still exists today and is known around the world. German Flatts provides an interesting snapshot of the daily life and important events in this communitys fascinating history.

A great piece of historyBy Special KThese books take you back to the simpler times. I couldnt believe how things used to be and i couldnt believe that some of the things are still there over 100 years ago.
