== History ==
The town, part of Macomb's Purchase, was first settled permanently around 1808 on the site of the present Morristown village.
One of the first battles in the War of 1812 was a naval battle in the St. Lawrence River between two warships.
The town was established in 1821 from part of the Town of Oswegatchie, where it was known as "Haque.". Morristown was reduced twice to make new towns: Hammond (1827) and Macomb (1841).
Due to the lack of waterpower, a windmill was erected in 1825.
