When Eliphalet Remington made his first rifle in 1816, the City of Ilion, New York was put on the map. Although the town was actually founded in 1725, the community was pretty simple until the Remington Arms manufacturing company started their business. When the Erie Canal was completed in 1825, the town got another boost from access to the Great Lakes region.

Today, the town is still a nice peaceful place to live and many have made Ilion their home. However, sometimes things can be overwhelming, and you may need some professional support for your emotional or mental health issues. There are many counselors and therapists in the Ilion area who are available to help you right now.
