Castorland is a village in the southeast part of the Town of Denmark in Lewis County, New York, United States; it is north of Lowville and southeast of Carthage. The population was 351 at the 2010 census. The name is derived from the scientific name for "Beaver". == History == The village name means "Land of the Beaver." The name stems from a colony of refugees from the French Revolution, established in 1792 to provide a new home away from the violence in France. The land, , was originally part of Macomb's Purchase. It was purchased by ''La Compagnie de New York''. "Castorland" is a literal translation of the old Indian name of the area, ''Couch-sach-ra-ga''.〔Donaldson, Alfred. ''History of the Adirondacks'', New York: The Century Company, 1921.〕 Due to many reverses, including harsh winters, poor planning, loss of livestock and funds, the colony was dissolved in 1814. Many of the original settlers from the Castorland colony returned to Europe or moved to larger communities.
