Peru, New York is located off Interstate 87 which runs north and south. It is 11 miles south of Plattsburgh, New York; 135 miles north of Albany, New York; and 70 miles south of Montreal, Canada. The center of town is located minutes from Lake Champlain, the (almost) sixth "Great Lake" in North America. We are considered a rural area with large apple orchards and dairy farms in our area. Some of the people who live in Peru also work in Plattsburgh at the State University and some at the Dannemora Correctional Facility. The now closed Plattsburgh Air Force Base was partially in our school district. New uses for the property are being researched by the Plattsburgh Area Redevelopment Committee.
