Whitney Point, New York

Whitney Point is a village in Broome County, New York, United States.

The village is in the southwestern corner of the town of Triangle and is north of Binghamton.

The village area was first settled around 1791 and began to flourish after the arrival of the Whitney family around 1800.

After serious flooding in 1935 and 1936, work began on a dam north of the village on the Otselic River.

It was completed in 1942 and — after decisions were later made to impound water on a year-round basis for recreational purposes — formed the Whitney Point Lake (Reservoir).

Grace Episcopal Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

Interstate 81 passes through the western side of the village, with access from Exit 8.
