The population was 756 at the 2010 census.[4] Old Forge was formerly a village but dissolved its incorporation in 1936,[5][6] but it remains the principal community in the region. As one of the western gateway communities of the Adirondack Park, Old Forge forms an extensive business district, primarily directed at tourism especially during the summer months. The local school is the Town of Webb UFSD, a K-12 institution with the Eskimo as their mascot. Old Forge often records the lowest winter temperatures in New York. On February 17, 1979, the record low temperature for New York was set in Old Forge at {{convert|-52|F}}.[7][8] HistoryIn 1798 the {{convert|210000|acre|ha|adj=on}} area including Old Forge came into possession of the Brown family of Rhode Island, through a transaction involving Aaron Burr. John Francis Brown built a {{convert|25|mi|km|adj=on}} wagon trail from Remsen and attempted to settle about 20 families in the area. The land was unsuitable for farming, these attempts failed, and the area was abandoned by 1803. In 1811 John Brown's son-in-law Charles Frederick Herreshoff moved to the area and attempted to raise sheep, opened an iron mine, and built the first forge. These ventures again failed, and Herreshoff committed suicide in 1819. A few settlers remained, including Nat Foster, said to be the inspiration for James Fenimore Cooper's character of "Natty Bumppo".[9] The railroad was built in 1888, originally horse-drawn with wooden rails. Before the railroad was completed, the plans were changed to use steam power rather than horses.[10] A station was constructed at nearby Thendara. Old Forge was incorporated as a village in October 1903.[1][11] The incorporation would be short-lived, as residents voted to dissolve the village on July 11, 1933, 117 to 96, due to the high cost of government operations.[12] A second vote for the final dissolution plan took place on October 21, 1933, also in favor.[6] The New York Supreme Court, 5th Judicial District, handed down a court order three months later suspending the dissolution process due to a lawsuit claiming the special election in October was illegal based on taxpayer and distribution factors within the plan.[13][14] After an appeal to the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department, the Village of Old Forge was officially able to dissolve on March 31, 1936.[5][15] AttractionsEnchanted Forest Water Safari is New York's largest water theme park.[16] It has 50 rides and attractions, including 32 water slides, as well as shops, restaurants, photographers, and a circus show.[16]Old Forge Lake Cruises is one of the top rated boat tours in the entirety of the Adirondacks. It provides 2 hour tours the Fulton Chain of Lakes. They operated the longest running mail boat delivery service east of the Mississippi river until 2016. The Goodsell House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[17] Many peaks can be seen from the village, including McCauley Mountain, home of McCauley Mountain Ski Resort. With a {{convert|633|ft|adj=on}} vertical drop, McCauley boasts 21 ski trails of {{convert|3000|to|5000|ft}} in length, one double chairlift, two T-bars and two rope tows. As Old Forge is frequently affected by lake-effect snow, and with 65% snowmaking capabilities, McCauley averages a base of {{convert|120|in}} and 105 days of skiing.[18] Snowfall totals also contribute to the area's other primary winter draw, snowmobiling. Dubbed the "Snowmobile Capital of the East",[19] Old Forge controls primary access to more than {{convert|500|mi}} of groomed trails. These trails, combined with operative sidewalk and limited street use, often ridable frozen lakes (especially the adjoining Fulton Chain of Lakes), and connection to other large trail systems, offer substantial area for the sport.[20][21] View Arts Center (www.Viewarts.org) is a community center that offers a broad range of activities, including exhibitions, performances, events and workshops, in addition to on-going offerings of yoga, private painting and pottery lessons and group classes. Airport and damOld Forge Airport is a small grass-field airport that is one mile north of the actual town. There are two runways. The airport is unattended and is privately owned. Permission must be obtained before landing. The Old Forge Dam separates the Fulton Chain of Lakes and the Moose River. Geography and climateOld Forge is located in northern Herkimer County at {{coord|43.706401|-74.969122|type:city_region:US|format=dms|display=inline}},[22] in the southern part of the town of Webb. The community lies within the Adirondack Mountains, a southern extension of the Canadian Shield and an important geologic feature of New York. As with any settlement in Adirondack Park, development both inside and outside the hamlet of Old Forge is somewhat restricted, and land use policies set forth by the Adirondack Park Agency must be observed.[23] According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of {{convert|5.1|km2|order=flip}}, of which {{convert|4.6|km2|order=flip}} are land and {{convert|0.5|km2|order=flip|1}}, or 9.06%, are water.[4] The primary highway passing through Old Forge is New York State Route 28, leading east {{convert|22|mi}} to Raquette Lake and southwest {{convert|26|mi}} to Route 12 at Alder Creek. Old Forge lies along the Moose River at the western end of the Fulton Chain of Lakes. {{Weather box|location = Old Forge, New York (1971–2000) |single line = Yes |Jan record high F = 59 |Feb record high F = 62 |Mar record high F = 76 |Apr record high F = 86 |May record high F = 90 |Jun record high F = 92 |Jul record high F = 98 |Aug record high F = 95 |Sep record high F = 94 |Oct record high F = 87 |Nov record high F = 76 |Dec record high F = 62 |year record high F = 98 |Jan high F = 25.1 |Feb high F = 28.3 |Mar high F = 37.3 |Apr high F = 49.4 |May high F = 63.1 |Jun high F = 70.7 |Jul high F = 74.6 |Aug high F = 72.8 |Sep high F = 64.9 |Oct high F = 54.6 |Nov high F = 41.5 |Dec high F = 30.6 |year high F = 51.1 |Jan low F = 2.2 |Feb low F = 4.2 |Mar low F = 15.2 |Apr low F = 28.0 |May low F = 40.0 |Jun low F = 49.1 |Jul low F = 53.5 |Aug low F = 52.2 |Sep low F = 44.5 |Oct low F = 33.9 |Nov low F = 24.6 |Dec low F = 11.2 |year low F = 29.9 |Jan record low F = −46 |Feb record low F = −52 |Mar record low F = −36 |Apr record low F = −24 |May record low F = 15 |Jun record low F = 24 |Jul record low F = 30 |Aug record low F = 23 |Sep record low F = 18 |Oct record low F = 3 |Nov record low F = −20 |Dec record low F = −43 |year record low F = −52 |Jan precipitation inch = 4.15 |Feb precipitation inch = 2.96 |Mar precipitation inch = 3.70 |Apr precipitation inch = 3.69 |May precipitation inch = 4.14 |Jun precipitation inch = 4.14 |Jul precipitation inch = 4.57 |Aug precipitation inch = 4.52 |Sep precipitation inch = 5.07 |Oct precipitation inch = 4.33 |Nov precipitation inch = 4.84 |Dec precipitation inch = 4.28 |year precipitation inch = 50.39 |Jan snow inch = 56.8 |Feb snow inch = 33.4 |Mar snow inch = 27.4 |Apr snow inch = 12.4 |May snow inch = 2.2 |Jun snow inch = T |Jul snow inch = 0 |Aug snow inch = 0 |Sep snow inch = T |Oct snow inch = 3.3 |Nov snow inch = 22.9 |Dec snow inch = 36.3 |year snow inch = 194.7 |Jan precipitation days = 19.1 |Feb precipitation days = 14.5 |Mar precipitation days = 15.6 |Apr precipitation days = 13.6 |May precipitation days = 14.1 |Jun precipitation days = 13.6 |Jul precipitation days = 12.2 |Aug precipitation days = 12.8 |Sep precipitation days = 13.0 |Oct precipitation days = 14.1 |Nov precipitation days = 17.2 |Dec precipitation days = 18.7 |Jan snow days = 17.1 |Feb snow days = 13.1 |Mar snow days = 11.8 |Apr snow days = 5.1 |May snow days = 1.0 |Jun snow days = 0 |Jul snow days = 0 |Aug snow days = 0 |Sep snow days = 0 |Oct snow days = 2.3 |Nov snow days = 9.4 |Dec snow days = 15.3 |source 1 = TWC[24] |date=August 2011}} DemographicsAs of the census[2] of 2010, there were 756 people, 371 households, and 208 families residing in the CDP.
