About Evans Mills
A village within the town of Le Ray, Evans Mills is named for the mills outside of town that were built in 1806. The town of Le Ray was named for James Le Ray, son of the French "Father of the American Revolution", Jacques-Donatien Le Ray. The elder Le Ray had befriended Benjamin Franklin and used his own wealth to purchase weapons, supplies and clothing for the fledgling American Revolutionary Army.

James Le Ray emigrated to America in 1785, where he married a girl from New Jersey and settled in upstate New York. He purchased large tracts of land in northern New York in what is called the Macomb Purchase.

Many of the historic properties of Le Ray and Evans Mills have been abandoned to make room for the creation of Fort Drum, a military complex and training ground that is spread across large parts of the county.
