"The township of Fenton came into existence December 3d, 1855, in pursuance to an act of the board of supervisors of Broome county, being formed from territory originally belonging to the township of Chenango. The name at first given to the newly created township was Port Crane, this being out of respect to Jason Crane, an engineer employed in constructing the Chenango canal. The board of supervisors, however, changed the name to that of Fenton, who was at the time of this action (1867) Governor of New York State."
