Binghamton, New York History
- History of
Binghamton provided by the Town of Binghamton. "Binghamton
is the seat of justice for Broome County. Situated at the junction
of the Susquehanna and the Chenango rivers, it was for a long time
known simply as Chenango Point. The site of Binghamton presents one
of the most picturesque and beautiful landscapes that can easily be
imagined. It is a slightly undulating plain, cut by the Susquehanna,
running from east to west, and the Chenango, running from north to
south, and almost completely surrounded by high hills, which add
greatly to the general attractiveness of the scene."
