Maryland, New York

Maryland is a town in Otsego County, New York, United States.

About 1909 until 1912 an extensive lumber operation by Emmons L. Peck of Carbondale, Pennsylvania, utilizing a steam tramway straddled the county line on South Hill east of Mud Lake, shipping finished lumber from Burnsides Switch on the D&HRR.

Peck's personal cabin was later dismantled and rebuilt in the hamlet of Maryland next to the present post office.

During World War I, Porter Brothers contracted to build the third rail for the D&HRR "bridge line" through Maryland and Worcester to allow larger eastbound freight trains without extra locomotives to clear Richmondville Hill by an alternate route, much of which was later obliterated by I-88 construction.

Interstate 88 and New York State Route 7 follows the east to west course of the Schenevus Creek.

South Hill, an upland area, is partly in the southeastern quadrant of the town.
