Newark Valley, New York

Newark Valley is a town in Tioga County, New York, United States.

The town is located in the northeast part of the county and is northwest of Binghamton.

One of the earliest settlers was Richard Sarles (1753-1849), a native of Bedford (town), New York and a veteran of the American Revolutionary War whose descendants share a common heritage albeit with various spelling permutations (Searles, Sarles, Sarlls).

The area where he settled was known as Searlestown, between Newark Valley (village), New York and Flemingville Owego, New York, and the cemetery where he and over two dozen Newark Valley relatives and descendants are buried bears that same name.

19.8% of all households were made up of individuals, and 8.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

There are three parks and recreation areas which are located in either the town or village of Newark Valley.
