Welcome to the Steuben County (NY) home page.

Approximately 100,000 people live within the county's borders which encompass about 1600 square miles - just slightly smaller than the state of Delaware. We are a combination of rural, small town, and small city communities. The material contained in this section has been assembled for the use of members of the general public who wish to know more about county demographics and county government. We are a diverse county with bustling activity in our three main population centers around Bath, Hornell, and Corning contrasted with an active Old Order Amish community in south central Steuben. Rolling hills and deep valleys play host to dairy farming, field crops, and potato growing. Many home grown fruits and vegetables can be purchased at road side stands during mid and late summer. Information on tourism is available through the Steuben County Conference & Visitors Bureau. Northern Steuben County contains miles of coastline on Keuka Lake, one of the most beautiful of the Finger Lakes with grape vineyards in the hills surrounding it. The Corning Museum of Glass, one of the three largest tourist attractions in New York State is also located in the southeastern corner of this county. The entire county puts on a brilliant fall foliage display in early October. Fishing and hunting are very popular during trout, bass, deer, and turkey seasons. We have many privately owned camp grounds and Stony Brook State Park providing additional recreational activities. The county's Industrial Development Agency is eager to assist businesses, small and large, wishing to locate here. I urge anyone considering visiting Steuben County or looking for a business friendly atmosphere with a home town touch to explore one of these sites.
