Description: This rare 1909 postcard features the Otego, New York Post Office. It was cancelled on Christmas Day. Approximate size: 5.4 inches x 3.4 inches The Otego New York post office was a small building located on River Street in the town of Otego, New York. It was established in 1828 and served the local community until it was replaced by a newer facility in 1964. Back in 1909, the post office had a mail carrier who delivered the mail by horse and buggy. The town of Otego was named after a Native American word meaning "where there is fire" and was settled by European immigrants around 1775, but development was slow until after the American Revolution due to tension between ethnic Germans and New Englanders. The town of Otego was formed in 1822 from the towns of Unadilla and Franklin (in Delaware County) as the “Town of Huntsville.” In 1830, the name was changed to Otego, when part of the Town of Milford was added. By the 1910s, Otego would have been a well-established community. Please inspect the pictures, as they give the best representation of condition. May have discoloring, edge or corner wear, marks, creases, fading, smudges, corner or edge bends, tears, or corners missing. (C74 inventory number)
