About the Town of Blenheim
Blenheim is blessed with scenic vistas, clean air, agriculture, State Forests, rolling hills, the Schoharie Creek and all that rural country life has to offer.
The Town is a host community to the New York Power Authority Hydroelectric Pumped Storage Project that provides clean, natural electricity, as well as Mine Kill State Park.
While steeped in over 250 years of history and the related historical sites, Blenheim is focused on a progressive future and has embarked on an aggressive revitalization plan.
Blenheim invites and welcomes tourists, low-impact small businesses, new residents and homeowners to the area. We especially welcome young families and retirees on an equal basis.
We are “Open for Business” and eager to work with small business concerns looking for a home, a place to call home and all the while providing a high quality of life for businesses and employees.
Blenheim, lies in the southern portion of picturesque Schoharie Valley in Schoharie County. Surrounded by the towns of Gilboa, Fulton, Summit and Jefferson.
Its rich cultural heritage is strengthened by an awareness of the blended values of a small town.
Schoharie Creek flows north along the eastern edge of the town as a wide stream with steep banks on either side. The hamlet of North Blenheim is hugged by a large bend in the Schoharie Creek.
The natural beauty, relative isolation and strong cultural and family heritages have led many residents to remain and have attracted new or seasonal residents to the area.
The 2020 Census shows a population of 308 individuals. The Town consists of 735 parcels equaling 21,768 acres. The majority of Blenheim is Forest or Hunting lands comprising 7,858 acres. Nearly 6,600 acres are considered residentially developed, 5,800 acres are vacant or farm lands. The remainder of 1,471 acres are owned by the New York Power Authority Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project and Visitor Center.
Children of Blenheim generally attend the Gilboa-Conesville Central School, Gilboa, but due to location within the town may also attend Jefferson Central School and Middleburgh Central School.

County Route 31, also known as Bear Ladder Road, County Route 2, also known as North Road, County Route 12 also known as Blenheim Hill Road and County Route 43, also known as West Kill Road connect Blenheim with the adjacent towns.
