Napoli is a town in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States. It is located in the western half of the county, northwest of Salamanca. The only permanent community in the town is Napoli village, formerly "Napoli Corners". The population was 1,248 at the 2010 census.
The town's name presumably comes from "Napoli", the Italian name of Naples. It is pronounced with a non-Italian pronunciation: /nəˈpoʊlaɪ/ nə-POH-ly, with a long "i" sound at the end (much like communities named Pulaski and Chili in other parts of the state).
The first permanent settler arrived around 1819. The town of Napoli was formed in 1823 from part of the town of Little Valley. In 1828, a division of Napoli was made, forming the new town of Coldspring to the south.
The now-dismantled Gladden Windmill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 36.6 square miles (94.7 km2), of which 36.4 square miles (94.2 km2) is land and 0.15 square miles (0.4 km2), or 0.46%, is water.
