Oriskany Falls, New York

Oriskany Falls is a village in Oneida County, New York, United States. The population was 732 at the 2010 census. The name is derived from a waterfall on a nearby stream. The village is largely in the southeast section of the town of Augusta, but partly overlaps the town of Marshall. The community is at the intersection of routes 12B and 26, which share a brief concurrency within the village and south to Bouckville.

The community was first settled circa 1794. It was originally known as Cassety Hollow, and was incorporated as the village of Oriskany Falls in the 1880s.

In the mid and late 1900s, Mr. George Tucker owned a large portion of the town, which he donated to the people, including a church and the local store, "Tucker's Big M." The store, however, was sold in 2004 to the "Shur-Fine" corporation, who had a gas station put in and remodeled the storefront, and then again in 2006 to brothers-in-law Badal Singh and Sukhminder Singh, natives of India.

The First Congregational Free Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
