Its French connection makes the history of the Town of Cape Vincent unique among Jefferson County townships. One of the last towns to be organized, it was formed from the Town of Lyme 10 April 1849, although its settlement began as early as 1801, with the arrival of Captain Abijah Putnam. Cape Vincent is the northwesternmost township of Jefferson County, being that part of New York State where Lake Ontario empties into the St. Lawrence River. For that reason, it has been the home of many river pilots, needed to guide vessels through the maze of the Thousand Islands. By land, it is bounded by the Town of Clayton on the east, and by Lyme on the south.
The population centers of Cape Vincent, as given in Child's Gazetteer of Jefferson County published in 1890, include Cape Vincent, the largest and the home of the town offices, St. Lawrence (also known locally as St. Lawrence Corners), Millen's Bay, Rosiere, and French Settlement, the latter two being heavily of French extraction in population.
