In 1852 George M. Earl came to what is now named Earlville. Earl, his wife
and family settled near a heavily wooded area near a spring. Earlville was
originally known as Nottingham, after a stockholder in the railroad. The
government later changed the name to Earlville because of conflict with
another community with the name of Nottingham. Earlville is located just off
of Highway 20 in Delaware County.
