Callicoon is a hamlet and census-designated place in the Town of Delaware, Sullivan County, New York, United States.

[4] In addition to animal abundance, the area was a source for lumber and a transport center with the Delaware River offering access to coastal cities to the south and east.

In the 1840s, the Erie Railroad added to transportation by passing through along the banks of the Delaware River to link the Great Lakes with the East Coast.

[5] Because of the train station's vital central location, the community was renamed Callicoon Depot.

The town quickly rebuilt, but lost much of its architectural history prior to the late 19th century.

The Villa Roma Resort and Conference Center also opened, increasing the number of vacationers to the area.

[7] Callicoon is located on the east bank of the Delaware River, adjacent to the Catskill Mountains in the southern portion of Upstate New York.
