| Located in the Central Leatherstocking Region of New
York State, the City of Oneonta can be characterized as a friendly
community -- one that is proud of its diversity, stability and beauty.
With a population of just under 14,000 people, one of the City's finest
attributes is its small town atmosphere. Residents and visitors alike
are attracted to Oneonta because of its friendliness, its reputation as
a great place to raise a family, its safety, and the overall perception
that it is a family oriented community, "where everyone knows everyone
else."
Oneonta's Main Street complements the small town ambiance. Red brick
sidewalks and turn of the century style street lamps suggest the disarming
feel of a simpler, more genteel era. The new Main Street Plaza and the many
elegant and comfortable benches beckon tourists and shoppers to slow their
hurried pace; to relax and take in the ambiance of Oneonta's Rockwellesque
downtown and to engage the panorama of century old architecture and timeless
rolling hills. Main Street is the heart of the retail shopping industry in
the City and offers a wide range of shopping options mostly centered on
locally owned and operated specialty shops.
