This original illustrated newspaper contains a 10" x 6" engraving (and descriptive text) of the town of OWEGA, Tioga County, NEW YORK.Owego is a town in Tioga County, New York, United States. The name is derived from the Iroquois word Ahwaga, meaning "where the valley widens". Owego is in the southeastern corner of the county, west of Binghamton. The village of Owego is in the western part of the town.The town was first settled around 1786. The "Original Town of Owego" was created at the time Tioga County was formed in 1791. This original town was reduced by formation of later towns in the county. The town's name is a derivative of the Iroquois word "Ahwaga", which means "where the valley widens". This name came from the vast floods that run into the valley when the winter snows melt, which caused several deaths a year.The current town of Owego was formed as the "Town of Tioga" in 1800 from the town of Union (now in Broome County).Confusion over the location of the village of Owego caused the legislature to have the towns of Owego and Tioga to switch names in 1813 so that Owego village was in the same-named town. Very good condition. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it. STEPHEN A.
