Welcome to Oneonta

Nestled in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains
along the banks of the Susquehanna River,

Oneonta is centrally located between the urban areas of Binghamton and Albany,
with easy access to Interstate 88, the major east/west transportation route
between Albany and western New York.

The Oneonta Municipal Airport is located three miles from the center of Oneonta.

Oneonta has grown from its origins as an Indian council site to become the leading
educational, cultural, business, retail, and professional center for the Tri-County
area of Otsego, Delaware, and Schoharie.

Oneonta was first known as McDonald's Mills. Beginning in 1817, it became Milfordville
(from the towns of Milford, Otego and Huntsville). It wasn't until 1830 that the
township of Oneonta was formed.
