The location prospered along the Erie Canal where Hulbert engaged in the produce business. On March 6, 1830 he was selected at chairman of the building committee for the Methodist Episcopal Church and was a long-time Justice of the Peace.When the community determined the need for a local post office, the nearest being located at the hamlet of Sandy Creek, Hulbert was appointed to the position of post master. This post office was established in 1835. The name of the hamlet was changed to Hulberton in honor of Isaac Hulbert in part because of Hulbert's role as post master, but also due to the fact that the town of Scio in Allegany County, New York predated the location.

Hindsburg is a hamlet in the town of Murray in Orleans County, New York, United States. It is named after Jacob Hinds, a native of Arlington in Bennington County, Vermont. Hinds settled in Murray circa 1829 and purchased a farm from Jared Luttenton, who had previously constructed a dwelling on the lot. The area quickly became a point of shipping for wheat and produce by way of the Erie Canal and a warehouse was constructed by Hinds in 1830. With no stops between Albion and Hulberton prior to the establishment of Hindsburg, commerce grew quickly and businesses opened in the vicinity. Shortly after the construction of the first warehouse, Joel, Darius, and Franklin Hinds arrived in the vicinity and partnered with their brother in establishing a framed hotel and dry goods store. A small settlement quickly developed at this location as settlers, traveling by way of the Erie Canal, departed north for Kendall after stopping at Hindsburg. The little village remained active in commerce until the completion of the railroad, at which time businesses waned and the population became stagnant. In 1894, the hamlet consisted of two warehouses, a store, blacksmith shop, post office, and approximately fifteen dwellings.

The first proprietor of the store was David Sturges. His son-in-law, George Copeland, operated it from 1843 until 1892, giving it one of its alternative names, the Copeland Store. At various points, the building housed post office and town court functions in addition to the general store.Even after Copeland's family sold the building, it remained a general store and Clarendon landmark until 1975. Eventually, the building was converted to apartments, but the building was condemned in 2007.
