(1880-1924)

On this site once known as North Wharton, P.H. Costello and P.C. Costello of Oneida, New York, built what was then the worlds largest tannery. By December 1881 the tannery consumed 32,000 cord of bark annually for a yearly output of 6,000,000 of sole leather. With 275 employees, it had a monthly payroll of $10,000.00. By the time the tannery was completed, North Wharton had become known as Costello.
