"My mother told me about Groton City and then took me there. As a child, she had attended bible school at the church. I had no clue that Groton City even existed. What I was must surprised about is how well the town is kept up. It probably has between 10-20 residents. I think a reason it was never very successful was from the bigger towns of Groton and Cortland which are not far away. Groton City is an absolute perfect example of a "partially" dead ghost town, and is well worth seeing. Submitted by: Lara Cady"

"Located at 47 Groton City Road in Groton City, it is believed that the Groton City United Church of Christ was once a Methodist Episcopal Church. The History of Tioga, Chemung, Tompkins & Schuyler Counties, published in 1879 says the building was constructed in 1834 at a cost of $3,000 and would seat 350 people."
