Steuben County

Steuben County is an administrative division in the Southern Tier of western New York, extending across rolling hills and deep valleys. The region includes several communities, with Bath serving as the county seat and Corning as a major economic center.

The area was founded in 1796 and named after Baron von Steuben, a Prussian general who supported American forces during the Revolutionary War. This early establishment reflects the region's importance in early American history.

The Rockwell Museum in Corning displays extensive collections of Western and Native American artworks that reflect regional artistic traditions and show how art collecting shaped the area's identity.

Bath is the administrative center where services like public health and government offices are located. Visitors can find important facilities and information about the wider area here.

Glass manufacturing remains central to the region's identity through Corning Incorporated, which develops advanced materials and optical technologies. This connection to glassmaking shapes the area's character and economy to this day.
