Byron was divided from the town of Bergen on April 4, 1820 and was named for Lord Byron.

The Village of Byron in the early days was called Byron Center.

South Byron, originally called Brusselville, was named for an early settler, Elijah Shumway, who had a “brussel head.”

North Byron was called “Pumpkin Hill” after a hotel and tavern sign in the shape and color, of a pumpkin.
