"The locality now known as Sidney, New York, began its history at the junction of the Susquehanna and Unadilla Rivers. Over the centuries, the Oneida and Iroquois tribes used the area because of the convergence of the trails along the rivers, which they used for transportation. At least two, and probably more Native American tribes made their home in the Sidney area.Recorded history of Sidney began in the early 1770's when Reverend William Johnston built his home in the location of the current Sidney Airport. The area was referred to as the Johnston Settlement or Sidney Plains and was geographically part of the Otsego County and the township of Unadilla...Currently the Village has a population of approximately 3,900...In 1925 Scintilla Magneto Company, a Swiss firm with headquarters in New York City, bought the old Hatfield bulding and began manufacturing magnetos in Sidney. In 1929 the Bendix Aviation Corporation purchased Scintilla. Over the years, Bendix gained a world-class reputation for aerospace products. Currently the company is known as Amphenol Aerospace Corporation. The company currently employs about 1,100 factory workers and is one of the largest employer in Delaware County."
