More about us...

The Chemung County chapter in Mather & Brockett's Geographical History of the State of New York (1848). At slightly under five pages in total, brief, but around average coverage for an upstate county in this early work.  In addition to the five pages on Chemung County, we also include the section of this work on land grants and patents as background.  Despite the brevity of their treatment of Chemung County, this is still an important part of the historical record.  5++ pages, in PDF format, download now for $2.00.

The Chemung County chapter from French's Gazetteer of the State of New York (1860). Here is a subsequent but not much longer look at Chemung County a bit over a decade after Mather & Brockett's treatment of the subject.  The localities mentioned in this chapter, most of which are still extant today, are:  Baldwin, Hammonds Corners, Big Flats, Catlin, Catlin Center, Pond Creek, Chemung, Breckville, Baldwin, Elmira, Erin, South Erin, State Road, Horseheads, Breesport, Southport, Wellsburgh, Webbs Mills, Seely Creek, Van Etten, Van Ettenville, Cayuta, Veteran, Millport, Sullivanville, and Pine Valley.  5+ pages, in PDF format, download now for $1.75.

Chemung County was subsequently divided (with two other counties) to form Schuyler County.  You may want to visit our Schuyler County page to learn more about this division.
