	Chemung River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is formed near Painted Post in Steuben County, just west of Corning by the confluence of the Tioga River and Cohocton rivers.
		The tributaries, particularly the Cohocton River, have captured some of the former Genesee River drainage, due to terminal moraines that filled some valley areas and diverted streams.
		In June 1972 the remnants of Hurricane Agnes stalled over the New York-Pennsylvania border, dropping up to 20 inches (500 mm) of rain into the Chemung Valley, which was among the worst hit areas by the resultant flooding.

		The Chemung River rose to a height of more than ten feet over the dam; the waters broke around the dam and effected a large breach in the south embankment; the water undermined and threw down the lower half of the south abutment, and ran over the stone work at the head of the guard-lock.
		In 1838, the Assembly received- petitions from inhabitants of Steuben county, praying that the Chemung canal feeder be extended to a point at or near the junction of the Oohocton and Tioga rivers, or that a company be chartered for that purpose.
		In 1858 the Chemung canal was connected, by the completion of the Junction canal, with the entire system of canals in Pennsylvania, thus enabling the people to reach by canal the vast deposits of both anthracite and bituminous coal in that state.
