Cherry Creek is a town in Chautauqua County, New York, United States. The population was 1,036 at the 2020 census.[1] The name is derived from that of a small stream that flows through the town amid many cherry trees. Cherry Creek is situated on the east border of the county, northeast of Jamestown. There is also a hamlet named Cherry Creek located within the town. [edit] History
The community was first settled circa 1815, and the town of Cherry Creek was formed in 1829 from part of the town of Ellington. The settlement got its name from a cherry tree planted by Holland Land Company surveyor Joshua Bentley to mark the center of the new town. The village, which was incorporated in 1893, voted on February 2, 2017 to dissolve into the surrounding town. [edit] Research Tips
