In 1804, the first pioneers to settle in Wales were William and Ethan Allen, Amos Clark, and Jacob Turner. Once a part of the Holland Land Company, the town was etched out along the trails of Native Americans. From its inception, the town of Wales has relied on community involvement and sound financial growth to fill its needs. Schools were established, and religious services were held in homes and schools until such time as the community had funds sufficient to build formal churches. Though Wales is primarily a farming area, small businesses were welcomed and thrived in the community. Town boards through the years have continued to keep Wales a quiet rural community.
