About Edwards

Set along the Oswegatchie River in St. Lawrence County, Edwards is a peaceful rural hamlet with a rich North Country history. The community originally grew around an early 19th-century grist mill, and that quiet riverside character still defines the area today. State Route 58 serves as the main road through town, connecting residents directly to neighboring communities while preserving the relaxed, unhurried feel of the area.

Living in Edwards gives you plenty of open space, scenic river views, and outdoor recreation right outside your door. The river provides great spots for paddling and fishing throughout the warmer months, while quiet country roads make it easy to unwind. With larger towns like Canton and Gouverneur just a short drive away for schools, dining, and daily shopping, you get the peace of small-town life paired with easy access to everyday conveniences.
