In 2004, the
Town of Schroon celebrated its bicentennial.
Whether the township’s
name was a derivation of Indian origin or French ancestry is a matter of
opinion, however most writers on the subject would probably lean toward
the Madame Scaroon theory. Both are mere legend. The name Schroon today
without question has been a subject of distortion over the years by its
very own settlers. The town’s name Sacroon remained on its records until
1837.
