== History == {{unreferenced section|date=July 2021}} The town was part of the Pulteney Purchase. It was first settled ''circa'' 1796. The Town of Huron was created from the [[Wolcott (town), New York|Town of Wolcott]] in 1826 as the "Town of Port Bay." In 1834, the town's name was changed to honor the Huron tribe. From 1826 to 1837, a [[Shakers|Shaker]] community known today as [[Alton, New York|Shaker Heights]] was partially located in the town. Because the Shakers believed that too many worldly influences were appearing in Huron, they moved to the [[Groveland, New York|Town of Groveland]] and established the [[Groveland Shaker Village]], which is now where the [[Groveland Correctional Facility]] is located.
