Sending of Beautiful Bouquets to Owego, NY

The town is located in Tioga County, New York, and its name is derived from the Iroquois word Ahwaga which means where the valley widens. The town is located in the southeastern part of the county. The first settlers came to the town in 1789, and the Original Town of Owego was created in 1791. The town's land area was reduced due to the formation of other towns in the county. The name Owego came from the vast floods that happened in the valley after the melting of the snow, and it caused several deaths in the years past. The current location was created as the Town of Tioga in 1800 from Broome County, known as the town of Union. Due to confusion over the location of the village, the state's legislature directed both towns to switch names so that Owego village was the same name as the town. The following locations in the town are on the National Register for Historic Places list, namely Vesper Cliff, Hiawatha Farm, and Waits Methodist Episcopal Church and Cemetery.
