Town of Owego, NY Website
The Town of Owego is located in Tioga County, in the Southern Tier and was established in 1800. It has a tradition rich in Indian heritage. Owego is the largest Town in the County and the Village of Owego is the County seat. The Town is divided into the north and south sides by The Susquehanna River. While most days that is a nice attraction, in 2006 and 2011 the area was hit by devastating floods. There are several hamlets located within its borders which give its residents several community identities throughout the town.
The Town has a history rich in agriculture and farming. Within the Town there are many small businesses and corporations. Most notable are the small shops and stores located in the Village as well as CYNOG, a natural gas storage facility, a state of the art recycling center and Lockheed Martin the area’s largest private employer. Lockheed Martin along with its partner Sikorsky was just awarded a large contract to build the next generation of presidential helicopters. The Lockheed facility has been instrumental in many national defense priorities over the past few decades. It is a proud moment for our community and its many hard working employees to be associated with many important national objectives.
