West Chazy, NY

West Chazy is a hamlet and census-designated place in the town of Chazy, Clinton County, in northeastern New York. It follows the Little Chazy River through the southwestern part of town, with the waterway continuing northeast toward Lake Champlain. New York State Route 22 passes through the community, linking it south to Plattsburgh and north toward Mooers. The hamlet of Chazy lies several miles to the northeast along local roads.

The wider Chazy story reaches back to French settlement, the military routes of the colonial era, and the town's 1804 formation from Champlain. West Chazy's present-day map is more modest: river bends, Route 22, crossroads, houses, and the surrounding farm country. Beekmantown Central School District serves the CDP, tying it to a school system shared with neighboring communities. Its position between Plattsburgh, Chazy, and Lake Champlain makes the place easy to locate, while the Little Chazy gives it a distinct local line. West Chazy is a small river hamlet with a highway through-route and a long northern New York backdrop.
