"Welcome to the online home of the Village of Deposit, a picturesque community nestled in the Catskill Mountains in the valley of the West Branch of the Delaware River."

Gateway to the Southern Tier

"The name Deposit was logical because in early times vast quantities of pine lumber were drawn in winter on sleighs, from as far away as the Susquehanna, and deposited on the banks of the river here to await the Spring high waters when the logs were fashioned into rafts sometimes as large as 200 feet in length, and taken to Philadelphia's market. This was in most cases the only cash income for these early settlers, who did business the rest of the year by bartering and the giving of notes of promise to pay. "
