There is a unique, friendly quality to Oneonta that makes it the shopping, recreational and cultural center for folks from a four-county area. Why? Because it’s not too big; and it’s not too small. Folks who shop here say that Oneonta department stores have everything you’ll find in the big cities. But, it is much easier to go to Oneonta. Oneonta, too, is the center for farm machinery, for home and business needs, for banks and loan agencies – Oneonta is a distribution point for people who reside in Otsego, Delaware, Schoharie and Chenango counties. Oneonta is a second home for folks who make their living from farming and dairying because here are the amusements, colleges and the agencies which make living in this part of New York State a little nicer than anywhere else.
