Village of Bainbridge
The Village of Bainbridge, with a population of 1,365 persons, is located in southeastern Chenango County, on the banks of the Susquehanna River in the Appalachian region of New York State. The Village is centered at the intersection of State Routes 206 and 7, just north of Interstate 88, and surrounded by the Town of Bainbridge. The incorporation of the Village in 1829 was preceded by a dynamic history of events beginning with the early settlers and their inaction with native peoples of the Susquehanna region and birthed through the industrial revolution and development of modern society. The Village history is characterized by a series of distinct social and economic transitions that follow an evolutionary sequence from transportation crossroads, to a major source of fine lumber, then a busy dairy production areas, and more recently as a “bedroom” community. |
