Where is Olean, New York?

Olean is located in the Southern Tier of Western New York, tucked into the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains close to the Pennsylvania state line. Olean is the major commerce and industrial center for Cattaraugus County and the surrounding counties in New York and Pennsylvania. Strategically located near major markets throughout the northeastern United States and Canada, including Buffalo, Rochester, Binghamton, New York City, and Toronto,  Olean is home to several industries specializing in everything from high-tech power sources to the manufacturing of common household products.

What's with the Squirrels?

It started in 1999 with cows in Chicago, guitars in Cleveland, and Labrador retrievers in Aspen. Soon, Buffalo was bedecked with buffaloes. In June 2007, four-foot high painted fiberglass squirrels started scampering along Olean’s streets. Olean is now home to 25 such squirrels! The popular Woodland in the City project was organized by Amy Sherburne, Bob Sherburne, Mark Barta, and Evelyn Penman. The fiberglass squirrels have caught people’s eyes, encouraged them to take walks, and even drawn in people from out of town.
