City of Gloversville

The City of Gloversville is the most populous city in Fulton County, in the southern Adirondack foothills, with City Hall at 3 Frontage Road. Incorporated in 1890, it was once the center of the American glovemaking industry and later the headquarters of the Schine movie theater chain, and it keeps a compact, walkable downtown.

The city runs its own public transit system with published routes and fares, offers online tax payment, and has partnered with Ampion to give residents community solar credits worth up to 10 percent off electric bills. Current mayor Gary J. Antonucci leads the administration.
