Laona, NY is a village in Chautauqua County just south of Fredonia. It was served by the Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley and Pittsburgh Railroad.
A 1921 list of customers of the railroad listed two in Laona – “William Willson, coal”, and “Burt Beebee, Grain, flour, and feed.”
The line though Laona was built and operated by the Dunkirk, Warren and Pittsburgh Railroad which reached the town in 1870 from Dunkirk. On December 31, 1872, the Dunkirk, Warren and Pittsburgh Railroad Company combined with the Warren and Venango Railroad to form the Dunkirk, Allegheny Valley and Pittsburgh Railroad. This company was leased to the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad on January 3, 1873.
The New York Central removed the line between Falconer and Dunkirk from service in 1972 in the aftermath damage done by Hurricane Agnes.
