River Street runs parallel to the
Susquehanna river,
on the opposite side of interstate 88. River Street was one of the first
streets in the City. It was an early Indian trail, later the mail route
from Unadilla to Cooperstown.
The Swart Wilcox house stills remains in
the neighborhood, which is currently the oldest structure in Oneonta. At
certain points the road ran closer to the Susquehanna River than it does
now.
Based along one of the more populated streets in
Oneonta, The River St. neighborhood is usually moving. Along the length
of the street are examples of the various Nineteenth Century
architectural styles, as well as structures of local historical
significance. The Boys and Girls Club of Oneonta, as well has
Riverside
Elementary School are located in the neighborhood, bringing another
portion of Oneonta's youth to the area.
