Endicott, New York is a village located within the Town of Union in Broome County, New York. It is a principal community of the Binghamton metropolitan area and is historically renowned as the birthplace of the IBM Corporation. The village's development was profoundly shaped by industrialist H. H. Rogers and the Endicott Johnson Corporation, which established it as a major center for shoe manufacturing in the early 20th century.
History
The area was originally part of the Binghamton Purchase and was known as the village of Union until its renaming and incorporation in 1906. Industrialist Henry B. Endicott, a partner of H. H. Rogers of Standard Oil, founded the Endicott Johnson Corporation, which transformed the community into a model industrial town. The company's Square Deal labor policies attracted national attention. In 1911, the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company, which later became IBM, was formed through a merger in the village, with Thomas J. Watson building its first major manufacturing plant there. The village was a hub for defense manufacturing during World War II and later faced economic challenges with the decline of the Rust Belt.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 4.63 square miles, of which 4.52 square miles is land and 0.12 square miles is water. Endicott is situated in New York's Southern Tier region, near the confluence of the Susquehanna River and the Chenango River. The village is bordered by the Johnson City and lies just west of the city of Binghamton. Major thoroughfares include NY-17C and it is adjacent to Interstate 81 and Interstate 86.
Demographics
As of the 2020 United States Census, there were 13,092 people residing in the village. The population density was approximately 2,896.5 inhabitants per square mile. The racial makeup was predominantly White, with significant communities identifying as African American, Asian, and Hispanic or Latino. The median household income has historically been below the state average, reflecting the area's post-industrial economic transition. Many residents claim ancestry from Eastern Europe, including Ukrainian and Slovak heritage.
Economy
The economy was historically dominated by the Endicott Johnson Corporation and IBM, which employed tens of thousands. Following the downsizing of these corporations, the economy diversified. Major employers now include Binghamton University's Innovation Technologies Complex, Lockheed Martin, and BAE Systems. The Huron Campus, built on the former IBM Endicott site, houses technology firms and is a designated Empire Zone. Healthcare is a significant sector, led by the United Health Services network.
Government and infrastructure
Endicott operates under a mayor-trustee system, with the current mayor being Linda Jackson. The village provides full municipal services, including a police department and a paid fire department. It is part of New York's 22nd congressional district, represented in the U.S. House by Claudia Tenney. Critical infrastructure includes the Greater Binghamton Airport and public transportation provided by the Broome County Transit system. The village is served by the Union-Endicott Central School District.
Culture and recreation
The village is home to the Endicott Visitors Center and the historical Endicott History and Heritage Center. It hosts the annual Endicott Apple Festival in September. Notable recreational sites include George F. Johnson Memorial Park, a gift from the Endicott Johnson Corporation, and the En-Joie Golf Club, which hosted the BC Open on the PGA Tour for decades. The village is part of the cultural sphere of the Binghamton metropolitan area, with access to venues like the Broome County Forum Theatre and the Roberson Museum and Science Center.
