Shavertown was a hamlet in Delaware County, New York. It was submerged by the construction of the Pepacton Reservoir in 1954. Shavertown had a few hundred inhabitants, mostly reliant on the town's timber industry. Acid factories in Shavertown produced wood alcohol and other chemicals. The Delaware and Eastern Railroad ran through the town.Gareth Hanrahan, Arkham Detective Tales Extended Edition, page 19, 2010, Pelgrane Press
