Twain wrote large portions of his books in the octangle study built on the farm, now relocated to the Elmira College campus. Organized in 1836, the county seat settled in Elmira, the Chemung County Courthouse Complex was built in 1836, & again in 1861. Chemung County has one city, 11 towns & 5 villages. Oh, and Elmira College might be here as well.
