Welcome to the Upper Delaware.

Our agency and its predecessors has been a part of this area for over 100 years. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Your first stop should be the Deposit and Hancock Chamber of Commerce sites: you will be surprised at what the area has to offer!

Hancock is proud to be the gateway to the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational Park of the United States Park Service starting just south of the village on Rte 97.


Deposit Farmers Market: Sponsored by the Deposit Chamber of
Commerce; is a seasonal open air sheltered market. Market days will be Saturdays from 8:30am to 1:00 pm from June through October. The purpose of the market is to offer consumers a superior food retailing experience and provide farmers with a profitable well-organized and operated market.

   Fishing and Hunting:  Hancock is the beginning of the
Upper Delaware Scenic River corridor and gaining international renown for its trout fishing. It consistently ranks near the top of New York State townships for deer harvest and recently won back to back awards as the Southern Tier's Best Hunting & Fishing location!

Golfing: Hancock boasts a new 18 hole course and a local 9 hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones. Nearby Deposit also offers three 9 holes courses.

Library: Hancock has a recently enlarged public library sharing a beautiful setting with Hancock Central School. It offers a number of computers for public use and is an Online Library with the 4 County Library System.

Local history: Our villages retain much of the natural beauty apparent to the         settlers of the late 1700's who used the river to raft logs to Trenton. The Erie Railroad started construction in Deposit in
1832 and its arrival in 1848 opened Delaware County to rail
trade through Hancock. A stroll through our downtowns today
will remind many of the small towns of their youth
