Webb is the northernmost town in Herkimer County, New York, United States. As of the 2010 census it had a population of 1,807.[4]

It is named after William Seward Webb, president of the Raquette Lake Transportation Company, the Fulton Chain Railway Company, Fulton Navigation Company, and the Mohawk and Malone Railway. The railroads in Webb were instrumental in opening the Adirondacks to the tourism rush of the mid-to-late 19th century. The Adirondack Railroad will resume tourist passenger service through the town in 2022: 41 years since the last train ran beyond Big Moose, NY.
