In 1792, the Town of Elmira was split off as the Town of Newtown. Three adjacent settlements, Newtown, Wisnerburg, and DeWittsburg joined at that time to form the Village of Newtown. In 1828 the village changed its name to Elmira. The City of Elmira was incorporated in 1864 from part of the Town of Elmira and the Village of Elmira.
