Biography

Ziba Hurd and Jonathan Gilbert, from Vermont, were the first settlers of the Village later known as Castile. Ziba Hurd got a title to the land from the Holland Land Co. The title included 400 acres of dense forest and was dated 1816. Ziba Hurd and his wife Sally built the first frame house in the Village. Mr. Hurd was, among other things, the first postmaster in Castile. It is believed that Sally Hurd was the person credited with choosing the name of Castile, due to her fondness of things Spanish.
