Howard lies in the interior of the county, a little north- west of the centre. It was erected from Bath and Dans- ville, June 18, 1812. A part of Avoca was taken off in 1843, and a part of Fremont in 1854. It is bounded north by Fremont, Cohocton, and Avoca, east by Bath, south by Canisteo, and west by Hornellsville. The surface of this town is elevated and rolling, forming part of the dividing ridge between the Conhocton and Canisteo Rivers. In the northeast part of the town is Ormond's Pond, and also in the extreme northeast corner is a pond from which flows a stream which connects with creeks near Goff's Mills. The soil of this town is a clayey loam ; at Howard Flats, though high, it is of great depth. South of the flats is the grist- mill of Alonzo Graves, in a deep valley surrounded by hills, the declivity of which shows the debris and outcropping of shale and slate. The streams are all small, flowing into the Oonhocton and Canisteo Rivers. 43 early SETTLEMENT. The fir
