Town of Hancock

The Town of Hancock is a municipal division in Delaware County, New York, covering rolling terrain with forests and streams throughout the area. The landscape includes open farmland, wooded sections, and several waterways that shape how the community is distributed across the land.

The Town of Hancock was founded in the early settlement period of the upper Delaware Valley and developed as a center for trading and lumber operations. The local economy was shaped for many years by forest resources and connections to regional trade routes.

The Town of Hancock maintains regular community gatherings at the local government facilities, where residents participate in municipal decision-making processes.

The town is best reached by regional roads that connect to larger cities in the area. Most daily services and shops are spread across the territory, so having a car makes getting around easier.

The area sits at a junction where watersheds of different river systems meet, with water flowing toward multiple directions. This geographical feature makes it a place where several drainage systems influence the land differently.
