The official Schoharie County government web site
There are 16 Towns and 6 Villages within this web site, each providing information and services that are important to you. The Citizen Guide will help you discover the information and services you need the most.

The primary industry of Schoharie County is agriculture. Farms are situated all over the county. At one time, there was a small-intensity factory in Cobleskill called Guilford Mills. At Guilford, textiles were made before its surprise closing in 2001. Over 700 residents lost their job, although two people were hired to mow the lawn in 2005.

There is a small but growing tourist industry regarding the county. Visitors come to visit Howe Caverns, Vroman's Nose, the Old Blenheim Bridge, and the Old Stone Fort. There has been a local movement of late to have residents shop locally. Source: Wikipedia
