Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORNING , a city of Steuben county, New
York
 , U.S.A., in the S. part of the state, on the Chemung river, 10 m. W.N.W. of Elmira. Pop. (189o) 8550; (1900) 11,o61, of whom 1410 were foreign-born; (1910) 13,730. Corning is served by the Erie, the
Delaware
 , Lackawanna & Western, and the New
York
  Central & Hudson River railways. Among the principal buildings and institutions are a fine city
hall
 , a Federal building, a county court house, the Corning
hospital
 
    See Also:
, a free public library and St Mary's orphan asylum (Roman Catholic). Corning is one of the principal markets in New York state for tobacco, which is extensively produced in the surrounding country. The principal industry is the making of cut and flint glass, and, of the several extensive plants devoted to this industry, that of the Corning Glass Works is one of the largest in the world. The city also has railway car shops and foundries, and among its manufactures are pressed brick, tile and terra-cotta, papier-mache and lumber. The total value of the factory products in 1905 was $3,083,515, 35'7% more than in 1900. There were settlers on the site of Corning as early as 1789, but it was not until 1848 that it was incorporated as a
village
  under its present name, given in honour of Erastus Corning, the railway builder. Corning was chartered as a city in 189o.
See C. H. M'Master, History of the Settlement of Steuben County (Bath, N.Y., 1853).
