Binghamton is a city located in the Southern Tier of New York. It is located near the PA border, situated in a bowl-shaped valley at the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers. Binghamton is the county seat of Broome County and is a principal city and cultural epicenter of the Greater Binghamton metropolitan area or Triple Cities, home to a quarter million New Yorkers. The population of the city itself is 47,376. The city was named after William Bingham, a very wealthy Philadelphian who bought the surrounding land. Before Bingham, the first known people of European descent to come to the area were the troops of the Sullivan Expedition, during the American Revolutionary War.
The community first settled about 1802 at the junction of the Susquehanna and Chenango rivers and was known as Chenango Point. Binghamton was first incorporated in 1834 as a village of the Town of Binghamton. Binghamton became a city in 1867. Abel Bennett, (a fortune-maker as owner of the Pennsylvania Coal Company,) was the city's very first mayor. His extensive property on the city's west side is known as the Abel Bennett Tract.
