Living in Binghamton
The north branch Susquehanna River passes through downtown
Binghamton. This branch rises in eastern New York and
receives a number of tributaries above Binghamton, most
notably the Chenango, which joins from the north just
outside of the business district. Major floods occurred
in the city in historical times in 1865 and 1936.
In 1935 the Chenango suffered a flash flood, which
was damaging, but less severe once it joined the larger
Susquehenna. So much water came from the Chenango, that
the Susquehanna flowed backwards for some distance above
the confluence. In 1972 the remnants of Hurricane Agnes
flooded the entire Susquehanna basin downstream from
Binghamton, but the damage in the city was minor.
