Wellsville (village), New York

Wellsville, at the top of the Eastern Triple Continental Divide, in south-central wooded and rural Allegany County, New York, USA is the largest population and business center in a 30-mile radius. The population was 5,171 at the 2000 census. Some claim that the name is derived from the oil wells that became an important economic as well as physical feature in the area. But that notion does not take into consideration that the Village of Wellsville was incorporated and named in 1857, 22 years before oil was even discovered in the New York oil field.
