Painted Post tourist information
Every great community starts at a river. You can trace the earliest form of our community to a spot where three rivers meet. Painted Post, New York is located at the convergence of the Conhocton, and Tioga that form the Chemung River. These rivers form an unstoppable spirit that travels all the way to the Chesapeake Bay. That spirit is alive today in the convergences of the communities of the Town of Erwin, Village of Painted Post, and Gang Mills. Those are the communities, citizens, and leaders of Painted Post. The people of Painted Post harnessed the rivers and created industry, commerce, and innovation. Now a player in the global economy, Painted Post’s spirit carries out in photonics, research, and the manufacture of compressors and turbines. Painted Post is located just west of Corning, New York at the intersection of I-86 and Route 15 (I-99).

When explorers and early settlers first arrived in western New York state in the 1780s, they were puzzled by a carved, wooden post which stood in the Indian Territory at the point where the Conhocton and Tioga Rivers meet to form the Chemung River. This crudely shaped post, first reported by General Freegift Pachen, had the figures of 28 men cut into it, and the figures were painted red. No one knew what the post of these figures represented. No answer to this puzzle has ever been found, but, because of the wooden post, this area came to be known as "The Lands of the Painted Post". In time, as pioneers settled the area in the late 1700s, a town would be created at the junction of the 3 rivers. That town took the unique name of "Painted Post".
