History of Carey
The village is near Sheriden Cave, where habitation occurred around 11,000BC. The village of Carey was founded in 1843 when William M. Buell and R. M. Shuler laid out the town on land that they owned. The town was named after Judge John Carey, an early prominent resident.Carey is home to an early settlement of Luxembourgers that continues to uphold its Luxembourg heritage today. Each year, an annual pilgrimage honoring Our Lady, Consoler of the Afflicted, is attended by crowds of people. The event features a religious procession starting in the neighboring community of Frenchtown and ending in Carey, seven miles away. The procession symbolizes the long journey of Luxembourg immigrants and their search for new life in the United States.
