Conklin became an incorporated village in 1836. The community reincorporated as a town in 1892 after being dissolved as part of a political dispute between residents of the village and residents of nearby Kirkwood (now Kirkwood-Coeymans).
The town is known for its blueberry festivals, held annually since 1952. The festival has grown into one of the largest blueberry festivals in New York State and features arts and crafts vendors, amusement rides, games and contests, food vendors, live entertainment and more.
