== History ==
The town was part of the Connecticut Tract, also called the 100,000 Acre Tract.
The first settlers arrived ''circa'' 1812. The Erie Canal opened in 1825, making a ready market for wheat and lumber. It also made the way easier for more settlement. The first Norwegian immigrant community in the United States was begun at the Kendall Settlement in 1825. They settled in a body along the lakeshore in the northeast part of town. Norwegian-American pioneer leader Cleng Peerson subsequently founded a settlement in the Fox River Valley of Illinois during 1834, near the community of Norway, Illinois.〔(''The Kendall Settlement Survived'' (Richard L. Canuteson. Norwegian-American Historical Association. Volume 27: Page 243) )〕
The Town of Kendall was incorporated from the Town of Murray. On April 7, 1837, about half of the Town of Murray became the new Town of Kendall. It was formerly called "North Murray" and was settled slowly due to swampy terrain, being called the "Black North," due to the bogs and forests. The town was named after Amos Kendall, the U.S. Postmaster General under Presidents Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren.〔(''A Brief History of Kendall'' (M. Joette Knapp, Kendall Historian) )〕
