These Nine Communities Along the Susquehanna River in NYS Hold Much History!

This gallery looks at several (9) communities along the Susquehanna River n Upstate New York. The river is one of America's most historic, and it winds from Cooperstown, NY to the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, some 444 miles. In this gallery you will find footnotes of history of these cities, towns, and villages. They range from the largest, Binghamton, to the next largest, Oneonta, and then to seven much smaller places along the river (one village with a population of under 500). We try and give some pertinent data about each, maybe a business memory or two, maybe we note a famous person who was born there, and other interesting tidbits.
