Summit was known as Summit Four Corners when it was first settled in the 1790's then it was created from parts of Cobleskill and Jefferson in April 13, 1819. The population was just over 1,000 in the 1820 and 2020 census reports. The 17 farms I highlighted came about if I had, or people sent me information or photos. Some farms have more details than others depending on what was available. Most farms were dairy farms and hops was grown as a money crop. Farms are listed alphabetically by the last family to operate the farm. Each farm includes location, who owned the land as far back as deeds allowed, photos, mini bios of the residents and tid-bits of farm life.
