County in southern New York, USA; area 1,064 sq km/411 sq mi; population (1990) 95,200. The county is situated along the Pennsylvania state line. Its seat and largest city is Elmira, a manufacturing centre. The economy of the county was revitalized by the arrival of Japanese electronics manufacturers and various other industries during the 1980s.
