Tioga County, located in the Southern Tier Region of New York State, was established on February 16, 1791. The name "Tioga" is derived from the Native American word meaning "at the forks," referring to the meeting point of rivers. The county was formed from parts of Montgomery County, and at the time, it also included what is now known as Tompkins and Chemung Counties. Later, in 1806, Tompkins County was created from its territory, and in 1823, Chemung County was also separated from Tioga County.

Tioga County has a rich history of Native American heritage. Prior to European colonization, the region was primarily inhabited by the Susquehannocks. Numerous tribes, like the Algonquin and the Iroquois, established peaceful farming communities and hunting grounds in the area.

In the late 18th century, European settlers were drawn to Tioga County's fertile soil and abundant timber resources. Colonel Charles Williamson, known as "The Founder of Tioga County," contributed significantly to the county's early development by purchasing large tracts of land and establishing new settlements.

As the population grew and industries developed, Tioga County became a vital transportation link with the construction of the Susquehanna Turnpike in 1812, connecting Owego to Catskill, and the Erie Railroad during the mid-19th century, which ran through the towns of Owego, Newark Valley, and Richford. This robust transportation system facilitated the county's trade relations and solidified its role as an essential hub for the region's economy.

Today, Tioga County is home to a diverse population, with agriculture, manufacturing, and small businesses continuing to play significant roles in the local economy.

Fun Fact: Tioga County is known for its picturesque landscapes and recreation opportunities. One such example is the Waterman Conservation Education Center, a 247-acre nature preserve in Apalachin, which offers forests, wetlands, and fields for hiking and wildlife watching.
