Ischua
Ischua (pronounced ISH-way) is a town in Cattaraugus County, New York. The Town of Ischua is on the eastern border of the county, north of Olean, New York.
The town was first settled around 1808 by the current community of Ischua. The Town of Ischua was made in 1846 from a division of the Town of Hinsdale. There was previously another "Town of Ischua" in the county, which has now been succeeded by the Town of Franklinville. When first formed, the present Ischua was known as the "Town of Rice." The town had its own post office (zip code 14746) until the early 1990s, when it was merged with Hinsdale's.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 32.4 square miles, of which, 32.4 square miles of it is land and 0.04 square miles of it (0.06%) is water.
