Chenango County, Administrative county in Southern Tier region, New York State, US.
Chenango County extends across 899 square miles of land with forests covering 60 percent of its territory and farmland occupying 30 percent of the area.
The territory belonged to the Oneida people until 1788 when Clinton's Purchase led to the creation of 20 towns west of the Unadilla River.
The name Chenango originates from an Oneida language word denoting a large bull-thistle, reflecting the Native American heritage of the region.
Norwich, the county seat, provides governmental services and hosts a branch of Morrisville State College for higher education opportunities.
The Maydole Hammer factory in Chenango County created the first ball-peen hammer, marking the region's contribution to industrial manufacturing history.
