According to C. Malcolm Nichols in "The Early Post Offices of Chautauqua County New York" (1960): "A rural neighborhood office, named Nettle Hill, was opened on February 13, 1829, on the mail route from Mayville to Waterford, Pa. and evidently was kept in the house of Walter Strong, the (only) postmaster, who lived on the east side of the highway, near the top of lot 49. This small servant of the people closed on June 26, 1845." (page 95)
