Horseheads’ location provides jobs and makes commuting easy
Horseheads is a town in Chemung County, New York that's near vital transportation routes and employment centers. “It’s your typical suburban town that makes it very convenient to get to Corning, Elmira and the Finger Lakes region,” says Daniel Mower, a licensed associate broker and lead agent for the Mower McLennan Team at Keller Williams Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area for nearly 20 years. Originally incorporated in 1837 as Fairport, the town’s current name refers to military pack horses from the American Revolution that died in the area.
In the 1830s, construction of the Chemung Canal helped turn the region into a transport route for coal, lumber and agricultural products. Railroad construction began soon after and the canal closed in 1878. During World War II, the area's extensive train network prompted the U.S. Army to build a facility to house prisoners of war and store supplies. The facility, called Holding Point, now serves as an industrial center for companies including FedEx, Pepsi and some tech firms. “Siemens Mobility is currently building the very first high-speed rail plant in North America,” says Mower. “They’re talking about adding another 750 to 1,000 jobs.” Mower says more job opportunities can be found close by in Painted Post, Corning and Elmira.

Historic Hanover Square blends architecture and local eats
The historic Hanover Square district on Main Street holds local business staples. Featuring Romanesque Revival architecture from the late-1800s, the famous district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. Sitting next to flower shops and pet salons are locally owned restaurants like Louies Hanover Square with Italian options and On a Roll for sandwiches. Mower calls The Diner a local landmark; it serves breakfast and lunch in a 1940s dining car. Across the street, Salsa’s is a popular spot for Mexican food. Shopping centers with chains like Sam’s Club and Aldi are less than 5 miles away along Interstate 86. Horseheads is also close to over 100 additional stores at the Arnot Mall.
