Local History

William Williams, a native of New York State, built a sawmill here in 1851 and on his land was built the main part of the village.  I. N. Jenness, also a New Yorker and a lumberman, is considered the co-founder of the village.  Given a post office named Mill Station on October 9, 1867, with Oscar A. Williams as its first postmaster, the office was renamed Elk Lake on September 12, 1870 and finally Attica, after its township, on February 1, 1871.
