Fillmore is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in the town of Hume, Allegany County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 census, Fillmore had a population of 596.[3] It was originally known as "The Mouth of the Creek" but was named for President Millard Fillmore in 1850. The former village of Fillmore dissolved its incorporation and is now simply a named hamlet southeast of the town center of Hume. Fillmore is the mailing address of the Hungarian Scout Camp, the main campsite of the Hungarian Scout Association in Exteris, although the camp is technically within the neighboring town of Granger. Fillmore is also the site of the Most Holy Family Monastery which was deemed a hate group[4] by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) in February 2017.
