About Argyle
Argyle is a village in the town of Argyle in Washington County, New York, United States. It is part of the Glens Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area. The village population was 289 at the 2020 census. The Village and Town are named after Argyllshire, Scotland (now Argyll and Bute, Scotland). Many of the original settlers came from Scotland and settled here in the mid-1700s. German, Irish, Dutch, and Polish settlers were also attracted to this area. The 1800s found Argyle residents active in the Underground Railroad and abolitionist movement. Moses Kill provided waterpower for mills in the village. The early 1900s brought a library and running water to residents.
Some notable community events include a Memorial Day parade and ceremony led by Argyle American Legion Post 1518, a plant and bake sale on Memorial Day weekend at the Argyle Free Library, an annual July 4 parade and chicken barbeque hosted by the Argyle Fire-Rescue Department, an Argyle Methodist Church Election Dinner, a Thanksgiving Holiday meal provided by F.E.A.S.T (Friends Ensuring A Super Thanksgiving) for those wishing to enjoy a traditional thanksgiving meal, a book fair by the Argyle Free Library on July 4, the Carl Lufkin Memorial Pull for the Cure - a Garden Tractor and 4WD truck pull in July which raises money for several charities helping in the fight against cancer, and a town-wide garage sale over the Columbus Day Holiday.
On September 18, 2021, Argyle honored its Scottish heritage with a Thistle (national flower of Scotland) Day community celebration after a nearly 100-year hiatus. The celebration has continued yearly since and now includes a bonfire and fireworks along with scottish games, music, food and drink, and community booths.
