Monticello is a hamlet west of Richfield Springs located at the corner of CR-24 and CR-25 in the Town of Richfield, Otsego County, New York, United States. The community is known by its historic name of Monticello. (In recent state use it may also be referenced as "Richfield"; however, in normal use, the name Richfield always refers to Richfield Springs.) It was once a busy hamlet along the Skaneateles Turnpike. The source of Hyder Creek is near the hamlet. Richfield Springs bears a street over a hill on the southwest of the village called Monticello Street, which leads directly to the hamlet.
