Ovid (village), New York

Ovid is a village in Seneca County, New York, United States.

Ovid and the surrounding area was part the lands controlled by the Iroquois.

The Sullivan Expedition of 1779 drove away or killed many of these natives to reduce their raiding in support of the British.

After the American Revolution the village was in the Central New York Military Tract, used to compensate soldiers.

The David and Mary Kinne Farmstead, Seneca County Courthouse Complex at Ovid, Edith B. Ford Memorial Library and Aaron Wilson House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

[6] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.4 square miles (1.1 km2), none of which is covered with water.
