Stockbridge is a town in Madison County, New York, United States. The population was 1,972 at the 2020 census, down from 2,103 in 2010. The name is derived from a group of Native Americans. The land surrounding where Stockbridge would be established was lived upon by "Stockbridge Indians", who had been relocated already to the New Stockbridge Indian Territory during the latter half of the 18th century, being told that this land was to be reserved for future tribal generations. The Stockbridge, refugees mainly of adjoining tribes in New York who had settled in the "praying town" of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, accepted an invitation of the Oneida people to live and share on their reservation in New York. Subsequent disagreements with White settlers caused many Stockbridge Indians to relocate to Indiana and later to Wisconsin, where they became the Stockbridge–Munsee Band of the Mohican Nation.
