Harford, New York

Harford is a town in Cortland County, New York, United States. The population was 943 at the 2010 census. Harford is in the southwestern corner of Cortland County and is south of Cortland.

Harford was in the former Central New York Military Tract in a tract called "Virgil". The area was first settled circa 1803.

The town was established in 1845 from part of the town of Virgil. By 1865, the population was 888.

In the 1970s, Cornell University bought extensive tracts of land for livestock research.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 24.2 square miles (62.6 km2), of which 0.02 square miles (0.06 km2), or 0.09%, is water.

The western town line is the border of Tompkins County, and the southern town boundary is the border of Tioga County.

New York State Route 38 runs diagonally across the southwestern corner of Harford. New York State Route 200 intersects New York State Route 221 east of Harford village.

The East Branch of Owego Creek, part of the Susquehanna River watershed, flows southward through the town. The northwest corner of the town drains northward to Virgil Creek, a tributary of Fall Creek, which flows west to Cayuga Lake in Ithaca and is thus part of the Lake Ontario watershed. Because of the steep hills in the north of the town, the larger settlements are in the south part.
