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 overdue rent of about $64. Hundreds of protesters were arrested and two were sentenced to death, but their sentences were later commuted. On December 31, 2003, the incorporated village of Andes ceased to exist. During a special village election on June 3, 2002, the residents approved dissolving the village by a vote of 81 to 63.〔Breakey, Patricia. ("Andes residents begin life after end of village" ).
