New York

Location“Olean, New York... the Enterprising City with the Hometown Touch.” That sums up the unique quality of life citizens enjoy in Olean. There’s an energetic spirit and outstanding resources here that one might expect to find in America’s largest cities, yet there’s a sense of pride and community in Olean that reflects traditional American values so often overlooked in other areas.

The City of Olean is the major commerce and industrial center for Cattaraugus County and the surrounding counties in New York and Pennsylvania. Its location provides for easy access to the major markets throughout the Northeast, including Canada. These areas include Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton, New York City and Boston, Ma. Within a 500 mile radius a total service U.S. population of over 70,000,000 exists and to the North we have approximately 62 percent of the total population of Canada and close to 80 percent of all manufacturing facilities that are located in Canada.

These markets can be reached through Olean’s easy access to an extensive, well-developed transportation network from highways such as Interstate 86 and US Route 219, to accessibility of rail and air transportation centers.

If you’re looking for a location with all the amenities a city can offer but with the unique flavor of a close-knit community, Olean is the place for you and your family. Come experience life in our community first hand.

The area was first settled around 1765, called by the Indian name Ischua. It remained sparsely populated until 1804 when Major Adam Hoops, a surveyor and Revolutionary War veteran, acquired the land and gave it its modern name. The name Olean probably came from the local Oil Springs and the Latin word oleum. The Post Officerecognized the new town as Olean Point. In 1823 the city is called Olean, without the Point, on county maps.

Before canals or railroads had become widespread, the main means of travel were either by cart or small boat, making the Allegheny River a major transportation route. Olean grew quickly as a transportation hub for migrants taking the Allegheny River into Ohio. For much of this era, Olean was larger and better known than its northern competitor, Buffalo. This period ended with the creation of the great canals, especially the Erie Canal in 1825.

Timber was a major industry in New York and Pennsylvania between 1830 and 1850, and Olean was the chief timber town in the region during those times.

After river travel declined, Olean became the regional railroad hub. The town was the crossroads of several railroads, a situation which endures today with the WNY & Pa RR.

When oil was rediscovered for commercial use during the Pennsylvanian oil rush, Olean was the railroad and pipeline hub for the surrounding oil region. The operations headquarters of Standard Oil’s New York affiliate, Socony, was based in the city. Oil produced on both sides of the state line was transported to Olean for rail travel. For a short time, Olean was the world’s largest oil depot, complete with a “tank city” on the edge of town. A pipeline was also built linking the city to Standard Oil refineries in Bayonne, New Jersey. The oil industry maintained a presence in the city until 1954, the same year in which Olean’s population peaked.

Oil also produced Olean’s highest ranking politician. Oil executive Frank W. Higgins was Governor of New York from 1905-1907. To this day, Olean is one of the few smaller cities in New York State to be home to a governor.

Olean gained some notoriety as a major stop on bootlegging routes during Prohibition in the 1920’s. Local

police turned a blind eye to organized crime activity. Nicknamed “Little Chicago” in the press due to its

connection with mobsters and bootleggers, Olean was frequently the stopping place of Al Capone.

Excellent health care is readily available to the local community from all fields of medicine in the greater Olean area. In fact, the area enjoys one of the most attractive physician/resident rates in Western New York.

Olean General Hospital is a 186-bed, non-profit, acute care hospital. For more than 110 years, the hospital has fulfilled its mission of providing the highest quality care services to the residents of Olean and its surrounding communities. The hospital’s core services include radiology/MRI, laboratory, outpatient procedures, physical therapy, surgical center, 24-hour emergency department, maternity (family birthing unit), dialysis and ICCU. Olean General Hospital and Bradford Regional Medical Center have taken a significant step aimed at providing greater health care opportunities in the region by integrating under a new parent company, the Upper Allegheny Health System. Approved and effective as of November 5, 2009, the integration will enable both hospitals to better respond to health care needs of the region and financial challenges that are the result of reductions in reimbursements from health insurers and payers.

The Medical Arts Building is presently owned by seven physicians. All offices are run solo by each respective physician. Patients receive personalized treatment from their doctors and each personal office staff. The group

offers most specialties such as internal medicine, general surgery, colorectal surgery, cardiology, urology, ophthalmology, obstetrics/gynecology, gastroenterology, and optical services.

The ReHabilitation Center has been serving people with developmental disabilities in the Olean area for more than 45 years. The agency assists more than 650 people every day to improve their quality of life and maximize their independence. The ReHab center provides this through a broad range of services including daily living skills, education, job training, day programs for children and adults, outpatient clinical services, at-home services and residential living options. In recent years, the agency has diversified to include services for people with mental health diagnoses and traumatic brain injuries as well as cutting-edge services for children with autism.

Located in Olean next to Olean General Hospital, OMG strives to provide for its patients the best medical care; with dignity compassion and respect.

Olean Open MRI & CT is a well-known local provider and has been awarded CT accreditation from the American College of Radiology.

HomeCare & Hospice is an area non-profit agency that provides a variety of comprehensive professional and para-professional health care services to all age groups. Home Health Care serves patients in Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, and Wyoming counties.

Mercy Flight has been a unique operation since its inception in 1981. As the pioneer air-medical service in New York State, Mercy Flight was one of the first operations of its kind in the country. Mercy Flight’s main base of operation is now at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. In an effort to even better serve the community, a WNY Southern Tier base was established in 1998 thus reducing response times. The Olean, NY, base began operating in September 1998 in the new Louis Magnano/Olean General Hospital/Mercy Flight Heliport on the campus of Olean General Hospital. This base currently is in service 24/7 per day. As a result, Mercy Flight now flies more missions in Cattaraugus County than any other WNY county except for Erie County.

WorshipThe greater Olean area offers a diverse group of places of worship, no matter your beliefs. And while the area offers that diversity, the community exhibits unity within that diversity.

More than 120 million people reside in a 500 mile radius of the Southern Tier, which includes 50 percent of the United States population and 60 percent of the nation’s buying power.

No matter your taste or neighborhood preference, there is quality housing available for you and your family.

When looking for housing, you will have an enormous amount of help to get you through the process. The Olean area is lucky to have a great group of realtors who are very knowledgeable and willing to find the perfect home for you and your family.
