About Nichols
Nichols is a small, easygoing village set along the south bank of the Susquehanna River in Tioga County, just above the Pennsylvania state line. With around 500 residents, it offers a relaxed, rural atmosphere where life moves at a comfortable pace. Families send their kids to the Tioga Central School District, and direct access to Route 17 makes it simple to commute to work or run errands in nearby Binghamton, Owego, and Waverly.
Founded in the late 1700s as a riverfront stop for timber and farm goods, Nichols has grown into a peaceful residential community over the years. Tree-lined streets sit right beside the water and the rolling hills of the Southern Tier. For people moving to the area, Nichols provides quiet country living, friendly neighbors, and a scenic river backdrop with regional employers and shopping only a short drive away.
