History & History Related Items
The City was named for Governor Horatio Seymour of New York. One of Seymour's former names was said to have been Squeedunk which means little settlement or village. It was found in 1868.
The area was first settled in summer, 1857 when William and John Ausbourne came here from a nearby area of the county. They made their way along the Shioc River until they ran out of roads to follow. Here they built a log house where they lived without neighbors for quite some time. Finally in 1864, the Mungers came and then the Buttles. A number of other families arrived and opened businesses or began to farm. More villages sprang up over time and in March 1877, Seymour became a town. When the railroad came in 1883, a station was built in Seymour as well as a small school. The first newspaper was called the Aurora but it only published for three years between 1887 and 1889. The Seymour Press debuted in 1886 and is still published today.
