About This City
The Township of Sparta, with its beautiful lakes, mountains, and farmland, is a residential community offering a wide variety of amenities. The Township consists of 39 square miles with elevations of up to 1,200 feet and a population of approximately 19,000. The Township has 11 private lake communities spread throughout the Township. The largest of these is Lake Mohawk, whose Boardwalk and Plaza are listed on the State and National Historic Registers.
The Lenape Native Americans occupied the land at the time of its discovery by European colonists. Early Dutch explorers and traders discovered red ores in the area and attempted to mine them as early as 1750, but were unsuccessful in their mistaken attempts to extract copper from the ores. No permanent settlers arrived until 1778, when Robert Ogden built his home and constructed an iron forge on lands he had acquired. The first public building in Sparta was the Presbyterian Church which was incorporated in 1786. Schools were established in Ogdensburg by 1806 and in Sparta by 1812.
Iron, zinc, and limestone supported a mining industry for over 100 years, but today the mining operations have ceased and the township is now a residential community served by retail, professional, and service small businesses.
