Bill > J00053

This resolution commemorates the 130th anniversary of the village of Ellisburg, New York, highlighting its rich historical significance. The resolution traces Ellisburg's history from its indigenous roots, through early European-American settlement by Marvel and Lyman Ellis in 1797, to its important role during the War of 1812, when it became a critical shipbuilding center and site of a significant American victory against British forces at the Battle of Big Sandy Creek. By 1814, Ellisburg had grown to become the third-largest population center in New York State. The resolution acknowledges the town's historical connections, including visits by French explorers like Samuel de Champlain and the presence of indigenous Haudenosaunee (Five Nations) people, and recognizes the community's ongoing commitment to maintaining a high quality of life for its residents. Ultimately, the resolution formally pauses to commemorate Ellisburg's 130-year history and directs that a copy of the resolution be transmitted to the Town of Ellisburg as a formal recognition of its historical importance.
