A Brief History of Corning, NY

Corning’s origins date to the first settlement in 1796 near what is now its downtown, when pioneers tapped the Chemung River for lumber transport. Incorporated as a village in 1848 and then as a city in 1890, Corning was named for financier Erastus Corning, whose investments spurred the community’s growth. As timber resources waned, glass manufacturing took the lead by the late 19th century—earning Corning its “Crystal City” moniker through firms like Hawkes and Hunt, which produced American Brilliant Period cut glass from 1880 to 1915. The city’s location along the Chemung Canal feeder at Gibson and later emergence as a railroad hub fueled an industrial boom after the Civil War. Corning weathered the devastating flood of 1972—when Hurricane Agnes waters crested above 32 ft—by rallying its community to rebuild downtown, preserving historic districts and forging the vibrant cultural scene seen today.
