Northville is a village in Fulton County, New York. The population was 1,099 at the 2010 census. The village is in the northern part of the town of Northampton and is northeast of Gloversville.
The site of the village was first settled around 1786, but areas south of the village were settled around 1762. The village was once on high ground next to the Sacandaga River valley. When the Sacandaga Reservoir was flooded in 1930, that valley became an arm of the lake.
Northville was incorporated in 1873, within the town of Northampton. The Conklingville Dam, finished in 1929, brought about the expansion of the Great Sacandaga Lake to the edge of the village.
The Northville Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.4 square miles (3.6 km2), of which 1.0 square mile (2.7 km2) is land and 0.35 square miles (0.9 km2), or 24.89%, is water.
The village is located at 43°13.5′N 74°10.5′W in the Adirondack Park on a northern extension of the Great Sacandaga Lake. The Sacandaga River enters the lake to the west the village. The river and lake are part of the Hudson River watershed.
The village is just east of New York State Route 30, connected to the highway by a bridge over the Sacandaga River, and is also served by County Roads 143, 149, and 153. Route 30 leads north 29 miles (47 km) to Speculator in the Adirondacks and south 24 miles (39 km) to Amsterdam on the Mohawk River.
