Cattaraugus County, County in Western New York, United States
Cattaraugus County extends across 1,322 square miles of land, featuring rolling farmlands, dense forests, and numerous waterways crossed by the Allegheny River.
The territory underwent multiple transformations since its inclusion in Albany County in 1683, before officially becoming Cattaraugus County on March 28, 1817.
The name originates from Seneca language describing natural gas emissions from local rock formations, reflecting the Native American heritage of this region.
Interstate 86 and U.S. Route 62 connect the county's communities, while two airports serve air transportation needs for residents and visitors.
The county contains two distinct Rock City formations, natural stone arrangements that create pathway patterns similar to street layouts.
