== History == The first settlers were the Tupper brothers in 1805. The community began in 1808 as "Walnut Falls". Also known as "Moore's Hills," the name was changed to "Forestville" in 1820. The village was incorporated in 1848. The "Bell Tower" at the high school is the oldest standing brick structure in the north county. The Bell Tower landmark was re-constructed in the early 2000s by Forestville Central School. A [[barn]] or [[carriage house]] located at 29 Lodi Street is the oldest standing wooden structure in northern Chautauqua County.<ref>Pamphlet, "Welcome to Chautauqua!", Visitors' Bureau, 1972</ref> In 2015, following emergency loans from the county, the inhabitants were called to vote on the dissolution of the village.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.observertoday.com/page/content.detail/id/619320/Dissolution-in-Forestville.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304092444/http://www.observertoday.com/page/content.detail/id/619320/Dissolution-in-Forestville.html |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |date=October 21, 2015 |title=Dissolution in Forestville |newspaper=[[Observer (Dunkirk)|Observer]] |first=Nicole |last=Gugino |url-status=bot: unknown }}</ref> Dissolution was approved by a 137β97 vote.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://wivb.com/2015/11/04/village-of-forestville-to-be-dissolved/|title=Village of Forestville to be dissolved|work=[[WIVB-TV]]|first=Evan|last=Anstey|date=November 5, 2015|access-date=November 5, 2015}}</ref> The Village of Forestville was officially dissolved on December 31, 2016.<ref name="TWC">[http://www.twcnews.com/nys/jamestown/news/2016/11/17/village-of-forestville-set-to-dissolve-and-transition-into-town-of-hanover-.html Time Warner Cable News, ''Village of Forestville Set to Dissolve and Transition Into Town of Hanover'' by Mark Goshgarian, November 17, 2016], Retrieved January 21, 2017.</ref> On July 10, 2024, during [[Hurricane Beryl tornado outbreak|an outbreak]] caused by the remnants of [[Hurricane Beryl]], a tornado touched down and caused EF1 damage mostly along Henry and Putnam roads.
