| The Town of Wheatfield was formed in 1836 from the [[Niagara, New York|Town of Niagara]]. It is situated in the southwest part of the county, surrounded by the towns of [[Lewiston, New York|Lewiston]] and [[Cambria, New York|Cambria]] to the north, [[Pendleton, New York|Pendleton]] to the east, the City of [[North Tonawanda, New York|North Tonawanda]] and the [[Niagara River]] to the south, and the [[City of Niagara Falls]] and Town of Niagara to the west. | The Town of Wheatfield was formed in 1836 from the [[Niagara, New York|Town of Niagara]].

| The earliest known settler on the site of present-day Martinsville in [[North Tonawanda, New York|North Tonawanda]] was George N. Burger, who came in 1809, built a log tavern on the river, and remained a resident until about 1825. Joshua Pettit came in 1810 and settled near the Niagara Iron Works, where he opened a tavern. He was the father of Mrs. Daniel C. Jacobs and Mrs. Whitman Jacobs. Stephen Jacobs, a soldier at the [[Battle of Bunker Hill]], located on the river two miles (3 km) below in 1817, where he purchased {{Convert|196|acre|km2}} of Augustus Porter, paying eight dollars an acre. He died in [[Niagara Falls, New York|Niagara Falls]] in January, 1840. William Vandervoorte settled here in 1825, occupying a log house which tradition says was the only one then in existence. | The earliest known settler on the site of present-day Martinsville in [[North Tonawanda, New York|North Tonawanda]] was George N.

| It was his intention to make a business of purchasing staves and timber for the Boston market, and ultimately to open a mercantile business.{{specify|date=November 2023}} In 1828, he finished the first [[public house]] in the place, which was called the Niagara; it was burned in 1844. Later he purchased {{convert|1,000|acre|km2}} of land of the Holland Company and sold to Prussian immigrants the largest part of their possessions on [[Tonawanda Creek]] and its vicinity. He established the first bank in 1836. As before indicated, little progress of a business nature was made here until the opening of the [[Erie Canal]]. The interior of the town was still almost an unbroken wilderness and, as late as 1850, a large part of the area of the town was unimproved. | It was his intention to make a business of purchasing staves and timber for the Boston market, and ultimately to open a mercantile business.{{specify|date=November 2023}} In 1828, he finished the first [[public house]] in the place, which was called the Niagara; it was burned in 1844.
