The Town of Au Sable was incorporated in 1839. The town's iron-manufacturing boom was in full swing. At the same time, the village of Keeseville also benefitted from the general prosperity of the area. Farmers grew crops for the industry, and the town developed transportation facilities for the ore to be transported to the growing railroad heads and Lake Champlain. Schools were built to accommodate the increasing numbers of newcomers.

In 1787, a group of Quaker farmers settled permanently in the area near Union, which is now the border between AuSable and Peru. As the area grew, early farming efforts spread to nearby areas like Hallock Hill and Harkness. The residents eventually diversified their agricultural operations and expanded their towns. They also started to develop the lumber trade in Plattsburgh and the potash industry in southern Quebec.
