Lewis County is a county located in the U. S. state of New York. As of the 2010 census, the population was 27,087, making it the fourth-least populous county in New York, its county seat is Lowville. The county is named after the Governor of New York when the county was established; the area now occupied by Lewis County was sparsely occupied until the end of the 18th century. Although the land was claimed by the Province of New York in its original grant, the land was part of the territory of the Iroquois confederacy until after the American Revolutionary War, when New York seized the lands from tribes that had supported the British; the lands were unsurveyed and remained unattractive to settlement until after the complex process of Macomb's Purchase of 1791 put much of the land in the hands of John Brown. The area now falling in the jurisdiction of Lewis County, New York has changed jurisdiction many times, beginning as part of the enormous Albany County in 1683 after one of the many times that Albany County was divided, becoming part of Tryon County in 1772, renamed to Montgomery County in 1784.

When counties were established in New York State in 1683, the present Lewis County was part of Albany County. This was an enormous county, including the northern part of New York State as well as all of the present State of Vermont and, in theory, extending westward to the Pacific Ocean; this county was reduced in size on July 3, 1766 by the creation of Cumberland County, further on March 16, 1770 by the creation of Gloucester County, both containing territory now in Vermont. On March 12, 1772, what was left of Albany County was split into three parts, one remaining under the name Albany County. One of the other pieces, Tryon County, contained the western portion; the eastern boundary of Tryon County was five miles west of the present city of Schenectady, the county included the western part of the Adirondack Mountains and the area west of the West Branch of the Delaware River. The area designated as Tryon County now includes 37 counties of New York State; the county was named for colonial governor of New York.

In the years prior to 1776, most of the Loyalists in Tryon County fled to Canada. In 1784, following the peace treaty that ended the American Revolutionary War, the name of Tryon County was changed to Montgomery County to honor the general, Richard Montgomery, who had captured several places in Canada and died attempting to capture the city of Quebec, replacing the name of the hated British governor. In 1789, the size of Montgomery County was reduced by the splitting off of Ontario County from Montgomery; the actual area split off from Montgomery County was much larger than the present county including the present Allegany, Chautauqua, Genesee, Monroe, Orleans, Wyoming and part of Schuyler and Wayne Counties. In 1791, Herkimer County was one of three counties split off from Montgomery; this was much larger than the present county and was reduced by a number of subsequent splits. The first one of these, in 1794, produced Onondaga County; this county was larger than the current Onondaga County, including the present Cayuga and part of Oswego Counties.

Oneida County, was split off from Herkimer County in 1798. Lewis County was split off from Oneida County in 1805. Lewis County, once organized, adopted five towns. Today there are seventeen and they are Croghan, Diana, Harrisburg, Lewis, Lowville, Montague, New Bremen, Pinckney, Turin and West Turin. Croghan was adopted in 1841, Denmark was in 1807, Diana in 1830, Greig 1828, Harrisburg 1803, Highmarket 1852, Lewis 1852, Leyden 1797, Lowville 1800, Martinsburg 1803, Montague 1850, New Bremen 1848, Osceola 1844, Pinckney 1808, Turin 1800, Watson 1821, West Turin in 1830; these towns were adopted in a short time span of about 55 years. On 11 April 1805, the Militia of Lewis, Jefferson and St Lawrence was established by the Council of Appointment under General Walter Martin; this was known as aka Martin's Brigade. 350 men of the 26th Brigade were detached but never deployed in response to an Act of Congress dated 30 Mar 1808, in response to the English troubles. On 15 June 1808, the 1st Regiment was established under Lieutenant Luke Winchell, consisting of troops from Lowville, Denmark and Pinckney.

A cavalry troop was formed in 1809 under Captain Levi Collins. On 10 April 1812, in anticipation of war, the President of the United States was authorized to call up men for military service. To that end, a company was drafted for three months, under Captain Lyman Deming, of Denmark, in the regiment of Colonel Christopher P. Bellinger, of German Flats, they served at Sackett's Harbor from 12 May 1812 to 21 August 1812. When the War of 1812 began on 12 June 1812, the above company was in the field, participating in the First Battle of Sacket's Harbor. To supply them, a company of 72 men were called up on 23 June 1812 under Captain Nathan Cook and placed under Colonel Thomas B Benedict of DeKalb. County wide drafts were issued in March 1813, September 1813, July 1814 and October 1814 in support of the war effort. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 1,290 square miles, of which 1,275 squ
