Dunraven is a hamlet in Delaware County, New York, United States, although it is often considered part of the adjacent hamlet, Margaretville.[1] The settlement was originally called "Clark's Factory" after the Clark family's industrial influence on the area.[2] The first post office was established with this name on February 8, 1849. However, it was renamed "Dunraven" in March 1890. The office was officially discontinued in 1945.[2] One of the few surviving remnants of the once-flourishing hamlet is the former District 10 School, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
