Welcome to the One Place Study of Homer, New York.
Homer is located centrally in New York State in the county of Cortland. It is comprised of a village and a town of the same name. Originally part of a military tract, the area was settled by non-native Americans after the Revolutionary War.
Rich in history, and well preserved, Homer is an excellent candidate for a one place study. The focus of the study is the first 100 years of settlement, pulling together as many records from the area to build a detailed history of Homer and its residents.
