Nestled in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains; Sidney has hummed with economic and industrial activity since its founding by Rev. William Johnston in 1772. Over the years; the town has been home to a silk mill; glassworks; cheese factory; car factory; and many other businesses. Notable figures such as New York State Police captain Daniel Fox; actor Tom Mix; newspaper editor Arthur Bird; and even Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt have lived in or spent time in the town. Today Sidney�s civic buildings; places of worship; recreational haunts; and transportation routes continue to reflect the town�s long; dynamic history. Traced within the pages of this book; a poignant collection of historical photographs chronicles the town�s evolution through the 19th and 20th centuries; and on through the devastating flood of 2006.
