Purchase rights to the Native American lands in the area were awarded to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as part of the Boston Ten Townships, by the Treaty of Hartford in 1786. (New York retained the right to govern the land.) Massachusetts sold these rights to private individuals in 1788. The first settlers arrived around 1791. It was originally called "Browns Settlement." The Town of Berkshire was established in 1808 from the Town of Union while in Broome County. In 1822, Berkshire was made part of Tioga County. The Town of Newark Valley, as the "Town of Westfield," was created from part of Berkshire in 1828. An additional part of Berkshire was lost in 1831, to found the Town of Richford, then called "Arlington." The Lyman P. Akins House, Levi Ball House, Belcher Family Homestead and Farm, Deodatus Royce House, and J. B. Royce House and Farm Complex, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
