Cohocton is a towninSteuben County, New York, United States. The population was 2,268 at the 2020 census.[2] The town contains a village, also called Cohocton and is located in the northwestern part of the county.

History[edit]

The town was first settled around 1794. The town was formed from the towns of Bath and Dansville in 1812. It was originally known as the town of Liberty. Part of the town was later used to form new towns in the county: Avoca (1843) and Wayland (1848). In 1874, the town was enlarged by the addition of a part of the town of Prattsburgh. The Larrowe House, also known as The Cohocton Town and Village Hall and located at the village of Cohocton, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[3] At least as late as 1836 the spellings Cohocton and Conhocton were used, even in the same text,[4] but by 1860 the shorter spelling was consistent.[5]

Geography[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 56.1 square miles (145.2 km2), all land.

The northern town line is the border of Livingston and Ontario counties.

Interstate 390, New York State Route 21, New York State Route 371 and New York State Route 415 pass through the town. The Interstate and NY-415 partly follow the course of the Cohocton River.

Communities and locations in the Town of Cohocton[edit]

Railroad station at Atlanta, NY, in April 2011

This village is also in the Cohocton Valley. Formerly called Bloods, it was thought that it might prove more prosperous, and grow fully as well, if given a more pleasing name. Atlanta is a shipping point for an abundant supply of grapes which are grown around the village of Naples."[9]
