Seneca County Historian Stepping Down

Seneca County’s longtime historian is resigning.

After being appointed by the Board of Supervisors in August of 2003, Walt Gable’s tenure as historian will end on December 31st. Gable cited health issues as his reason for stepping down in a letter of resignation to the county Chair.

Gable was a high school social studies teacher for thirty-two years before becoming the county historian. He has been a lifelong resident of Seneca County. He graduated from the Romulus Central School and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Syracuse University. As the county historian, Gable worked to infuse 21st-century technology into the county historian’s office and to make the position of county historian more visible within the community.
