== History == The town was first settled by Europeans around 1730 on the territories of Lindsey's (1730) and Van Horne's (1731) patents. The town was within the territory of the [[Mohawk people]]. In coordination with the colonial government, the Mohawk had allowed a fortified settlement east of here. They had agreed in 1712 to allow some settlement by [[Palatine Germans]] in exchange for Queen [[Anne, Queen of Great Britain|Anne]] helping with their defense against the French and Indian allies. [[Fort Schuyler]] was constructed south of the Mohawk River near one of their major settlements at the time. The town of Danube was formed in 1817 from the town of [[Minden, New York|Minden]] (in [[Montgomery County, New York|Montgomery County]]). Part of Danube was taken off in 1828 to form the town of [[Stark, New York|Stark]]. The [[Herkimer Home State Historic Site|Herkimer Home]] and [[Mohawk Upper Castle Historic District]] are listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref name="nris">{{NRISref|2010a}}</ref>
