Historically South Lewis was formed from Leyden and West Turin by the Supervisors, November 11, 1852, embracing a part from the narrow point at the south-western part of "Inman's Triangle," which previously had formed the town of Leyden and No. 1, and part of No. 2, (three rows of lots,) of "Constable's four towns," previously in West Turin. The first town meeting was ordered to be held at the house of Orlando S. Kenyon. Its name was derived from that of the county; but as there is also a town of "Lewis," in Essex County, the post office of "West Leyden," remains as before, the only one in the town.
