By 1868, Houghton moved the company once more, settling it in Corning, New York, and changing its name to Corning Flint Glass Works. Seven years later, he incorporated the company as Corning Glass Works a name the company carried until 1989 when it became known as Corning Incorporated. Corning the town and the company are integral partners in a shared history of success. The company is set within a picturesque landscape, punctuated by rolling hills and crystal clear lakes.
