There were many early mills along the streams of the township, and the Chenango Canal raised it to a height of prosperity, but farming has been the main industry of its people. The Methodist Home for the Orphan Children of the Wyoming conference is located at Hillcrest. Other villages of the section are: Port Crane, always the most prominent; North Fenton, formerly Ketchum's corners.
