Jamestown is a community on the rise! Located at the southeastern tip of Chautauqua Lake, it is the largest city in Chautauqua County, rich in historic sites and museums such as the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History, Fenton History Center, and the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts. As Lucille Ball’s hometown, Jamestown boasts the Lucy-Desi Center for Comedy and Lucille Ball Little Theatre of Jamestown, and is now home to the brand new National Comedy Center! Jamestown is also home of the Robert H. Jackson Center, promoting the legacy of the hometown lawyer who would become the United States Chief Prosecutor of Nazi War Criminals at Nuremberg, Germany and Supreme Court Justice. Jamestown is also the location of the world-class Northwest Arena, a venue for large events and home to hockey and figure skating.
Jamestown offers higher education opportunities through both Jamestown Community College, a two-year college in the SUNY system, and Jamestown Business College, a private institution. Both offer degree and certificate programs in many areas of study. The City of Jamestown is a vibrant community serving as the industrial, commercial, financial and recreational hub of Southwestern New York. As the center of a metropolitan area of more than 70,000 residents and a market area of nearly 175,000 people, Jamestown supports a broad range of industry, modern commercial establishments and financial institutions, and provides a myriad of cultural and recreation opportunities for its residents.
