Painted Post is a village in Steuben County, New York. The village is in the town of Erwin, west of the city of Corning. The population was 1,809 at the 2010 census. The name comes from a Seneca carved post found by explorers at the junction of three local rivers.[2] Corning-Painted Post Airport (7N1) is west of the village.
The former town of Painted Post was in 1836 renamed the town of Corning.[citation needed]
