The hamlet gets its name from the classical academy and Lutheran seminary built here in 1815, which later evolved into Hartwick College in nearby Oneonta. While the original school closed in the 1930s, local historical markers still point to the area's early educational roots. Today, the community provides a quiet rural setting within an easy twenty-minute drive of both Cooperstown and Oneonta.
