Bill > J00068

This resolution commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Town of De Peyster, located in St. Lawrence County, New York, which was established in 1825 after being formed from parts of the Towns of DeKalb and Oswegatchie. The resolution highlights the town's interesting naming history, noting that it was originally intended to be called Stillwell but was ultimately named after Frederic de Peyster II, a New York City attorney and local landowner. The document celebrates the town's geographic features, including the Oswegatchie River, Black Lake, Mud Lake, and Beaver Creek, and emphasizes its reputation for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and fishing. The resolution also recognizes notable residents such as former New York State Senator Patty Ritchie and Civil War Union officer Newton Martin Curtis. By acknowledging De Peyster's rich history and ongoing contributions to New York State, the legislative body formally pauses to commemorate the town's bicentennial and commits to transmitting an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to the Town of De Peyster.
