History
It is named for Cheshire, England. One of the two monuments in Cheshire commemorates the cheese; the other memorializes the founders of the town. The town had early forges and saw mills, grist mills and tanneries, and in 1812, the Cheshire Crown Glass factory opened as did a triphammer operation. Because Cheshire, like their namesake, specialized in dairying and making cheese, they decided to send a gift to the president of a Cheshire cheese, but one using curds from every farmer in town. The valley town was founded by Baptists from Rhode Island, the first settlers in the region who were not of the established Puritan Church.
