"The Town of Kirkwood lies on the Northern side of the Susquehanna River and extends from the Pennsylvania border to the city limits of Binghamton, NY...Kirkwood Village had a railroad depot, hotel ..., wagon factory, grist and sawmills, feed mill, blacksmith shop, creamery, and telegraph office...Crucial to the town's early development was the Erie Railroad. For nearly a century the Erie provided employment in construction, maintenance, and operations and provided freight and passenger links to the rest of the country. ...Situated at the intersection of Interstate 81 and Route 17 Expressway the town once again enjoys easy access to the world."
