25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Chautauqua County, New York

Chautauqua County is one of those parts of New York State where the scenery changes almost as quickly as the history. Along Lake Erie are grape-growing communities such as Westfield and Ripley. Dunkirk grew into a busy railroad and lake port, while Fredonia developed its own traditions in education, music, and civic life. Farther south, the roads wind past Chautauqua Lake, Mayville, Panama, and the smaller towns that have been home to people whose accomplishments reached well beyond Western New York.

State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says local government sales tax collections across New York have grown by 7.6% through the first nine months of 2026, compared to the same period last year. According to DiNapoli's quarterly sales tax report, collections totaled $19.6 billion from January to September, an increase of $1.4 billion. DiNapoli adds that the year-over-year growth was stronger than the same period in 2025 (4.3%) and more than four times higher than the increase in 2024 (1.7%). In Chautauqua County, total sales tax collections through September have amounted to $75.6 million, an increase of 3.5% from 2025. DiNapoli cautions that local governments should temper their expectations for sales tax revenue growth, citing higher costs that could reduce consumer spending.

25 Lost Movie Theaters Upstate New Yorkers Still Remember

The old movie theaters of Upstate New York were once landmarks of everyday life. Downtown movie palaces filled the sidewalks of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany. Smaller houses in places such as Saranac Lake, Geneva, Oneonta, and Watertown offered the same excitement on a different scale. A theater could be a family’s Saturday afternoon destination, a teenager’s first date, or a place where the town gathered for a film everyone was talking about.
