Endwell,
New York is a small hamlet on the banks of the lovely
Susquehanna River. It is located in
Broome
County, one of the state’s most scenic areas and considered the crossroads of the
Southern Tier
Region, as well as one of New York’s fastest growing counties.
The Census 2000 counted Endwell’s population at almost 12,000. The hamlet lies adjacent to the village of
Endicott, named after H.B. Endicott, the famed shoemaker, who founded the community as the ‘Home of the Square Deal.’ The name Endwell came from a popular style of Endicott shoes. Endicott also claims fame as the ‘birthplace of computers,’ since the
IBM Corporation began there in 1906.
Endwell and Endicott belong to the ‘Triple Cities’ metropolitan area, which includes
Johnson City as well as
Binghamton. This region lies along the
Southern Tier Expressway as well as near Interstate highways 81 and 88, bringing it within a 350-mile radius of some of the richest markets in the world. Almost one half of the U.S. and Canada's populations are found within this radius.
The Maine-Endwell Central School District serves the community.
Binghamton University and
Broome Community College offer top-notch higher education. Major employers in the area include
Lockheed
Martin, NYSEG, a subsidiary of the Energy East Corporation, as well as IBM.
