"A devastating fire in 1912 destroyed about thirty buildings in Locke village.
A second devastating fire occurred on April 10, 1975, destroying eleven buildings and causing approximately $650,000 in damage. The fire was a result of a gasoline tanker losing its brakes while descending State Route 90 and crashing into the bank at the intersection of State Route 90 and State Route 38."
"The population was 1,951 at the 2010 census."
Locke is also the name of a hamlet "near the center of the town at the junction of NY-38 and NY-90 and the confluence of Owasco Inlet and Hemlock Creek."
