About Andes, NY

Settlement began in 1784. The town was formed in 1819 from the town of Middletown. Most of Delaware County, including Andes, became part of the Hardenbergh Patent, a manor which was owned by members of the Livingston family. In 1845 in what became known as the Anti-Rent War, protesters, several hundred dressed as "Calico Indians", shot and killed Under-Sheriff Osman Steele, when he and deputies attempted to collect rent overdue to the lord of the manor of about $64. Hundreds of protesters were arrested and two were sentenced to death, but their sentences were later commuted.
