Mount Upton is a hamlet in Chenango County, New York, United States. It’s located on the Unadilla River in the town of Guilford.

During the Civil War, the area played a significant role. The 121st New York State Volunteer Infantry Regiment, known as Upton’s Regulars, was drawn from the farms and towns of Otsego and Herkimer counties, including areas near Mount Upton. They served with the Sixth Corps in the Army of the Potomac throughout the Civil War. The regiment participated in 25 major engagements, won six Medals of Honor, and led the charge at Spotsylvania.
