. The city is situated in a good agricultural region. The principal manufactures are machine-shop products (the Delaware & Hudson has repair and machine shops at Oneonta), knit goods, silk goods, lumber and planing mill products, &c. The first
settlement
  was made about 1780. The township was erected in 183o from parts of Milford and Otego. Oneonta was known as Milfordville until 1830, when it received its present name. It was first incorporated as a
village
  in 1848, and was chartered as a city in 1908, the charter coming into effect on the 1st of January 1909. The name " Oneonta " is derived from Onahrenton or Onarenta, the Indian name of a creek flowing through the city.
See Edwin F. Bacon, Otsego County, N.Y. (Oneonta, 1902); and Dudley M. Campbell, A History of Oneonta (Oneonta, 1906).
