Town in New York, United States
Napoli is a town in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States. It is located in the western half of the county, northwest of Salamanca. The only permanent community in the town is Napoli village, formerly "Napoli Corners". The population was 1,173 at the 2020 census. The town's name presumably comes from Napoli, the Italian name of Naples, but is pronounced with a non-Italian pronunciation: nə-POH-ly, with a long "i" sound at the end (much like communities named Pulaski and Chili in other parts of the state).
