Deposit is a small village located in New York State. It's special because it's split between two counties: Broome and Delaware. In 2020, about 1,387 people lived there.
The village sits right on the border between the two counties. Part of it is in the town of Sanford (Broome County). The other part is in the town of Deposit (Delaware County). The Broome County side is also part of the larger Binghamton area.
History of Deposit
Deposit is located in an important historical spot. It was once the boundary between lands for European settlers and Native American territories. This boundary was set by the 1763 Fort Stanwix Treaty.
The village officially became a village in 1811 in Delaware County. It's quite unique because it's one of only twelve villages in New York that still uses its original founding document. This document is called a charter. Most other villages have updated their rules over time.
Today, the dairy industry is a big part of Deposit. But the village's name comes from its past. It was a major center for lumber. Logs were "deposited" here before being floated down the Delaware River on rafts.
