Persia is a town in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States. The population was 2,203 at the 2020 census.[2] It is in the northwest part of the county. The village of Gowanda is partially in the town.

Name

A question frequently asked is "How did Town of Persia get its name?". Newspaper archives and history books do not give a small clue to the origin of the name.[3]

Etymology

From Latin Persia, from Ancient Greek Περσίς (Persís), from Old Persian 𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿 (Pārsa), another name for Iran.

History

The area that would become the town was first settled in 1810. The town of Persia was founded in 1835 from the town of Perrysburg.[4]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 21.0 square miles (54.4 km2), of which 20.9 square miles (54.1 km2) is land and 0.12 square miles (0.3 km2), or 0.46%, is water.[5]

The northern border of the town is partly formed by Cattaraugus Creek, with Erie County on the opposite bank, and the east town line is defined by the South Branch of Cattaraugus Creek.

U.S. Route 62 passes through the northwest corner of the town, and New York State Route 353 passes across the south part of the town. Much of the town is served by the north-to-south Broadway Road (County Road 4), which runs from NY 353 into the village of Gowanda, which occupies the northern tip of the town and extends across Cattaraugus Creek into the town of Collins in Erie County.
