General Information:
The Village of Tupper Lake is in the Town of Tupper Lake in Franklin County, New York. The population was 3,935 at the 2000 census. The village takes its name from a nearby lake, which, in turn, is the name of a surveyor. Settlement began around 1844. The village was settled during the town’s lumber production period and grew after it gained railroad service. The early village was composed of two parts, Tupper Lake proper and Faust.
The great fire of 1899 burned more than 150 structures in the village. The modern village grew out of this destruction and added all the amenities of a modern community earlier than others in the state.
