Angola was founded in 1838 and has many locations that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Angola Commercial Historic District, Steuben County Courthouse and the Steuben County Jail.
Angola Mayor Richard Hickman told The Herald Republican that it’s an honor to be nominated and to be on the list.
“These things have kind of popped up before, like best place to retire, best micropolitan. This is just really great for a community like ours to get recognition for the hard work all of our groups and organizations do,” he told the publication.
Voting for the list ends on May 6. The top ten towns will be announced May 17.
Angola is currently sitting at number 7.
