Ellicott is a town in Chautauqua County, New York, United States. The population was 8,714 at the 2010 census. The town is named after Joseph Ellicott, an agent of the Holland Land Company.
The town of Ellicott is centrally located in the county, lying on the eastern edge of Chautauqua Lake and surrounding the city of Jamestown on the east, north and west.
The first settlers arrived around 1806. The town of Ellicott was established in 1812 from the town of Pomfret and was one of the first three towns in the county. As such, part of Ellicott was used to form the towns of Busti (1823), Carroll (1825), and Poland (1825), although some territory was later re-annexed to Ellicott from Busti and Carroll.
The city of Jamestown was formed from part of Ellicott in 1886.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 30.5 square miles (78.9 km2), of which 0.02 square miles (0.06 km2), or 0.08%, is water.
The town borders the east end of Chautauqua Lake.
The Southern Tier Expressway (Interstate 86 and New York State Route 17) passes through the town north of Jamestown, with access from exits 11, 12, and 13. New York State Route 60 is a major north-south highway in the town, and New York State Route 394 is an east-west route that parallels the Southern Tier Expressway in the southeast part of the town. New York State Route 430 enters Jamestown from the southwest part of Ellicott.
