[2] The Town of Howard is in the west-central part of the county, east of Hornell.

In turn, Howard contributed some of its territory to form part of the Towns of Avoca (1843) and Fremont (1854).

In its current configuration, Howard is split among four neighboring school districts including Avoca, Bath, Canisteo-Greenwood, and Hornell.

That building, long abandoned, partially collapsed in 2004 and was razed by the then-current owners.

Another former schoolhouse in the town still remains open, now being used as a heating equipment store (B&D Partners, also formerly Southern Tier Farm Supply).

This building is located on the south side of the Interstate-86 entrance/exit ramps and is easily distinguishable from houses in the area.
