This ancient-looking village is located on the right bank of the Paulinskill Creek, about four miles from its confluence with the Delaware River, and the same distance northeast from Columbia, and on the Hyndshaw tract, surveyed in 1729. For many years this locality bore the name of "Sodom," whether to warn the dwellers therein of the fate that befell its ancient namesake, or for other better reasons, we can not say. Hainseburg was the name given when the post office was established, and that in honor of John Hainse, who made a liberal donation to the school district in which the village is located. For the same reason the school district was named "Hainseburg District."
