Shooktown, New York is a hamlet in the town of Lockport in Niagara County, New York, United States.[1]
The stretch of Akron Road from Lincoln Avenue northwest to the Lockport city line settled by the Shook family approximately in the 1830s. The name began appearing on local maps in 1927, long after the last Shook owned property there, and was printed as late as 1978.[2]
