History & geography

History

Johnstown is part of a four thousand acre (16 km2) tract of land deeded to John Brown, a revolutionary soldier, by President John Adams for military services in 1800.

Dr. Bigelow laid out and incorporated the village of Johnstown, donating the streets, alleys and the town square.
