Leyden is a town in Lewis County, New York, United States. The population was 1,785 at the 2010 census.

The Town of Leyden is in the south part of the county and is north of Rome.

History

Settlement began around 1794.

Leyden was formed from the Town of Steuben (in Oneida County, New York) in 1797. Leyden formed part of a tract called the "Inman Triangle."

The Town of Leyden gave up much of its territory to form new towns such as the Towns of Watson (1821) and Lewis (1852). Leyden was also partitioned to form the Towns of Brownville (Jefferson County in 1802) and Boonville (Oneida County in 1805), and part of the Town of Wilna (Jefferson County in 1813). Port Leyden in the town was a port on the former Black River Canal.

The city is named after the Dutch city Leiden.[3]

The Black River marks the eastern town line, and the south town line is the border of Oneida County.
