Broome County is a county located in the U.S. state of New York.
As of the 2010 census, the population was 200,600. Its county seat and largest
city is Binghamton. The county was named in honor of John Broome, who was
lieutenant governor in 1806 when Broome County was established.




Broome County is part of the Binghamton, NY Metropolitan
Statistical Area.



Broome County is also home to Binghamton University, one of four
university centers in the SUNY system.


 
The western half of the county is hilly but has wide valleys that
accommodate Binghamton and its suburbs. In the northern portion Interstate 81
takes advantage of another glacial valley. To the east, however, the terrain
becomes much more rugged as the land tilts up to the Catskills.




The highest elevation is a U.S. National Geodetic Survey
benchmark known as Slawson atop an unnamed hill in the Town of Sanford. It is
approximately 2087 feet above sea level. An area due east on the Delaware
County line in Oquaga Creek State Park also lies within the same elevation
contour line. The lowest point is 864 feet above sea level, along the
Susquehanna at the Pennsylvania state line.
