General Simeon DeWitt, a member of Washington's staff in the revolution and Surveyor-General of the State of New York, soon after the close of the war, surveyed the State and laid out the military allotments in the then unbroken wilderness of Central and Western New York. Among other lands then allotted, the General located and acquired title to the 640 acres where Ithaca now stands. Impressed with its location, he discovered at that early day its capabilities of becoming a central point of commerce and manufactures from the natural water powers with which it was surrounded. It was organized as a town in 1821, being taken from the town of Ulysses, named after one of Homer's heroes, a Grecian prince, whose reputed home was Ithaca, an ancient city of Greece, built upon an island in the Ionian sea, " a nest of birds among the rocks." Thus named and separated from its parent Ulysses, it at once became the County Seat of the new County of Tompkins, named in honor of Governor Tompkins. It was organized April 17th, 1817, taken from the counties of Seneca and Caguga. The first white settlers came in and located as early as 1789. From this early settlement the pioneers gradually penetrated the wilds then unbroken about the head of Cayuga Lake, and from 1800 onwards the settlements rapidly increased; so that about 1812, the territory about the head of the lake had become considerably improved. Roads were opened and access to Ithaca and Cayuga Lake had become less laborious and difficult. The Ithaca and Owego Turnpike Company was incorporated in 1807; the Ithaca and Geneva Turnpike Company in 1810, and Ithaca acquired a vigorous growth; and at the organization of the...

Download or read book A Bibliography of New York State Communities written by and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bibliographies of local history are essential research tools for historians, genealogists, and book collectors. This volume is an attempt to bring together citations to all the books and pamphlets dealing with New York State history at the local or community level, which were published between 1900 and 1987; also included are some of the more important local history publications published prior to 1900, as well as a few works published as recently as 1989. It is not an attempt to compile a complete bibliography of the state which would undoubtedly require several large volumes, but rather, is directed more specifically to the needs of the local history and genealogy researcher. Material pertaining to the history of the major cities of the state has generally been excluded. Periodical articles and manuscript materials have also been excluded. About 2,500 publications are described in the listings which are arranged by county and town. This revised and enlarged edition updates the 1988 work with numerous additional citations, well-annotated for informative and entertaining reading, covering the following new subjects: Hudson Valley, Indians, maps, northern and western New York, reference books which include a substantial amount of New York material, Revolutionary War, Shakers and books with statewide coverage.

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
