McGrawville, New York
McGrawville (also New Hudson) is a former hamlet in the town of New Hudson, Allegany County, New York, United States.
History
The hamlet was named for one Mr. McGraw, a local landowner.

It was the location of a U.S. Post Office for more than 50 years, from 1849 through about 1900.
