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

The town was first settled before the American Revolution by Palatine Germans and Dutch settlers from the Hudson Valley.

In 1779, the army of General Clinton passed through the area to join the Sullivan Expedition.

The community of Oneonta, developed from earlier "McDonaldville" and "Milfordville," in the town became a railroad center for such lines as the Delaware and Hudson.

The world's largest locomotive roundhouse stood in Oneonta until a larger one was constructed in Germany.

Linn of nearby Morris, he was replaced in 1937 by Arthur Perkins of the Unadilla Trailer Co. of New Berlin, NY, who obtained several patents of his own relating to trailers and built front wheel drive vans until Great American Industries took over in 1948.

Union problems closed their doors in 1952, delaying vital military contracts that Lyncoach Corp. was formed to complete, who later moved into the original Linn building until the 1970s when relocating to a branch factory in Troy, AL.

Emmons has a humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb), with warm, wet summers and cold, snowy winters.
