This area is now the Saratoga National Historical Park. General Philip Schuyler used as headquarters, prior to this battle, the Dirck Swart house, still standing south of Ferry Lane. Dick Swart was to become the first County Clerk of the newly formed Saratoga County in 1791 and the first meeting of the county Board of Supervisors was held in Stillwater. The Town itself was formed in 1791 and the Village was incorporated in 1816. Abigail Powers, daughter of Rev. Lemuel Powers, a dynamic minister of the early First Baptist Church, was born here and was to become the 13th First Lady as wife of Millard Fillmore.
Many Revolutionary soldiers rest in cemeteries throughout the town.
At the site of the Yellow Meeting House Congregational Church, which moved as a church to Stillwater in 1762, the old cemetery tells the history of a frontier town.
