Morris is a village in Otsego County, New York, United States. The population was 583 at the 2010 census.
The Village of Morris is centrally located in the Town of Morris and is northwest of the City of Oneonta.
The village was originally called "Louisville" by early French settlers, of which Andre Renouard and family is the first known, the Franchots staying with them their first winter. When incorporated in 1870, the name was changed to "Morris" so as to avoid confusion with the other Louisville, NY. The water of Butternut Creek was used to power many textile mills in the valley, including the Hargrave factory on Lake St. and Butternuts Wool & Cotton Co. just below the village. Spring Street off West main was laid out to a new plant that went bankrupt before machinery was installed when the local textile industry collapsed. More recently Spring St. has been abandoned with Morris Central School expansion over what had once been planned as a development.
Morris is located at 42°33′N 75°15′W / 42.550°N 75.250°W (42.5481, -75.2451).
