"Shortly thereafter, Unadilla Village was again settled, and originally called "Wattles Ferry," It grew after it became an important stop for travel west, the Catskill Turnpike crossing the Susquehanna at Wattles Ferry, located in the eastern end of the village. "

"But even before the arrival of the early settlers, the location of the future village had generally been determined by the establishment of a ferry across the Susquehanna River near the mouth of Ouleout Creek (just east of the present corporate limits of the village) by Nathaniel Wattles of Lebanon, Connecticut. His arrival, and that of his cousin, Sluman Wattles, in the mid-1780s, signaled the beginning of a tide of Connecticut migration which followed an old primitive road west from Catskill on the Hudson to the Susquehanna. Until the first bridge was constructed in 1804, Wattles Ferry provided the strategic transportation link for westward-bound settlers."
