Olean (ō`lēăn'), city (1990 pop. 16,946), Cattaraugus co., W N.Y., on the Allegheny River near the Pa. line; settled 1804, inc. 1893. The city formerly had an oil-based economy related to nearby oil wells; manufactures still include turbines and compressors for the oil industry as well as electrical items, cutlery, and dairy products.
