CHERRY VALLEY , a
village
  of Otsego county, New
York
 , U.S.A., in a township of the same name, 68 m. N.W. of Albany. Pop. (1890) 685; (1900) 772; (1905) 746; (1910) 792; of the township (1910) 17o6. It is served by the

rich
  farming and dairying region, has a chair factory, and is a summer resort with
sulphur
  and lithia springs. It was the scene of a terrible massacre during the War of Independence. The
village
  was attacked on the 11th of November 1778 by Walter Butler (d. 1781) and Joseph Brant with a force of 800 Indians and Tories, who killed about 50 men, women and children, sacked and burned most of the houses, and carried off more than 70 prisoners, who were subjected to the greatest cruelties and privations, many of them dying or being tomahawked before the Canadian settlements were reached. Cherry Valley was incorporated in 1812.
