=== Settlers and Records === | |||
No list is known to exist of migrating colonists who used the Catskill Road or Catskill Turnpike and decided to settle along it. However, the earliest settlers in the area would have used this road to reach their new home. The Catskill Road would have attracted nearby settlers because it helped them reach markets for buying and selling goods and services. Therefore, the land, tax records, and histories of the earliest settlers along the route would list the names of people likely to have used the Catskill Road. | |||
