Herkimer County, Administrative division in New York, United States.
Located in central New York state, Herkimer County extends across 1,458 square miles of land, including sections of the Adirondack Mountains and Mohawk River.
Established in 1791 from a portion of Montgomery County, Herkimer County received its name from General Nicholas Herkimer of the American Revolutionary War.
The county maintains several historical sites, including the Herkimer Home State Historic Site and Old Jail Museum, which display regional artifacts and documents.
Transportation infrastructure includes Interstate 90, connecting residents to major cities, while Amtrak service is available in neighboring Utica for rail travelers.
The region produces distinctive double-terminated quartz crystals known as Herkimer diamonds, which formed in dolomite limestone approximately 500 million years ago.
