Canajoharie (/ˌkænəəˈhɛəri/) is a town in Montgomery County, New York, United States. The population was 3,730 in 2010.[2] Canajoharie is located south of the Mohawk River on the southern border of the county. The Erie Canal passes along the northern town line. There is also a village of Canajoharie in the town. Both are east of Utica and west of Amsterdam.

These were settled as European-American jurisdictions, named for the historic Mohawk village of the same name, which was also known as the Mohawk Upper Castle.
