The original settlers arrived around 1830 and called the village Winkelried. The first hotel in the village was The Jefferson House, named after President Jefferson, and the village was subsequently renamed to Jeffersonville. The hotel is now known as the Abel Building and still stands on Main St. In 1849, a Post Office opened in town. A school was built near the Lions Field in 1869.
When the Board of Supervisors removed Fremont from the Township in 1870, they renamed the Township Callicoon. The name Callicoon came from a Dutch word, Kollikoonkill, which translated into “cackling hen” after the many wild turkeys native to the area. The land was largely owned by non-residents who were not willing to foot the bill to have roads built through their property. This was one of the last territories to be settled in the county. When the New York & Erie Railroad came into the area, access to this beautiful wild area opened up. People began to settle and towns were born. One of these settlements in the Town of Callicoon was Jeffersonville.
In 1887, the village was linked to Liberty by telegraph and in 1913 electric was run from Livingston Manor. In 1911, Fred Duttweiler ran the first bus route. The bus seated 12 people and traveled back and forth to Liberty from Jeffersonville.
The village was incorporated on November 24, 1924. The Jeffersonville School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. Lake Jefferson is a small lake adjacent to the village.

In 1918, a large section of Main Street was lost during a fire started in the Eagle Hotel1s pantry/kitchen area. According to Jesse Abel, who is now deceased and who was the Town Historian for many years. The village didn’t have a truck, so a fire truck had to come from Liberty to help fight the flames. The Goubelman and Lichtig buildings, Homer Cafe’ and Beck1s Department Store were all lost. The Beck’s Drug Store was gutted but its steel sheeted walls stopped the fire. A machine shop and six cars were also destroyed.
