The town was formed from the town of Woodstock in 1798 while still part of Ulster County. After the formation of Greene County, several other towns were formed from parts of Windham. These towns include Hunter and Lexington (1813), Prattsville (1833), and part of Ashland in 1848. In 1900, the town's population was 1,240.In 1937, Camp Highland, a Nazi summer camp for German-American boys, ran at a site near Windham, NY.The major source of income in Windham is the Windham Mountain ski resort, formerly called "Ski Windham".
