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.
