Title
Village of Friendship, Allegany County, New York, 1882
Description
Located at the confluence of the North, West, and South branches of Van Campen Creek, this community had earned the name "Bloody Corners" due to violence. In 1815 it renamed itself Friendship, economically supported by farming and lumber but especially due to its location along the east-west state road (today, the Southern Tier Expressway).<br />
<br />
Bird's eye view shows a pair of railroads paralleling the creek, along with several manufacturing operations: mills, a box factory, a foundry, and a carriage factory.
