The
Village of Whitney Point is located in the Town of Triangle in
northern Broome County. The village lies at the confluence of the
Tioughnioga and Otselic Rivers. Native Americans of the Iroquois
Confederacy once used these rivers as highways through the region.
Today, the village is intersected by many highways, including Interstate
Route 81, and Routes 11, 79, 26, and 206. The village also serves
as the “gateway” to the Finger Lakes region for north
bound travelers, and to the Greater Binghamton area for southbound
travelers.Although Whitney Point has a population
of only about 1,000 residents, the village is the commercial center
for approximately 10,000 residents of northern Broome County, and
is the home of the Whitney Point Central School District. The
proximity to area colleges and universities, the many recreational
activities available, and the beautiful scenery surrounding the
village, provides the Whitney Point area with a great quality of
life that makes it a great place to visit or to live.
