Bill > J00054

This resolution commemorates the 225th Anniversary (though the document mistakenly references 125th) of the Town of Champion in New York, highlighting the town's rich historical significance. The resolution traces the town's origins to its founding in 1800 by General Henry Champion, who purchased and surveyed the land, and its establishment as one of the first towns in Jefferson County. It celebrates the town's transformation from an agricultural community to an industrial center, noting key historical features like the Hiram Hubbard House (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), Van Riper State Park, and Craig Lake State Park. The resolution also recognizes notable residents such as George E. Spencer, a Union General and U.S. Senator, and Ellen Alida Rose, an agriculturist and suffragist. By acknowledging Champion's historical contributions and ongoing community vitality, the resolution aims to honor the town's legacy and its continued importance to New York State, ultimately calling for a formal recognition of the town's anniversary and transmitting an official copy of the resolution to the Town of Champion.
