Onchiota is a hamlet in Upstate New York, United States, formerly connected jurisdictionally with the county head town of Franklin via County Road 60 and two railroads established in the late 1880s, one administered by Delaware and Hudson lasting until 1940, the other administered by New York Central lasting until 1957, both stopped operating there because of Onchiota's underpopulation after World War II. However, before this, Onchiota had a wide variety of people migrating to, inhabiting and migrating from the hamlet: from small communities of workers of the nearby mill (that operated in Onchiota from the late 19th century to 1917) to wealthy people from nearby cities such as New York City and Buffalo who came for the primary motive of fishing and hunting. The hamlet, historically, only had one general store and a school from the early to late 20th century due to its small population, with the rest of the buildings being residential.[1]
Nowadays, Onchiota has a historical museum called 'Six Nations Indian Museum' that has several artifacts about the local Haudenosaunee culture that emerged after being abandoned by white settlers.[1][2]
