Bill > J00055

This resolution commemorates the 135th anniversary of Gloversville, New York, highlighting the city's rich industrial history and significance. The resolution traces Gloversville's origins back to 1752, when the area was first settled and known for its hemlock forests and leather production, and notes that the city was officially named Gloversville in 1828 (previously called "Stump City"). It emphasizes the city's remarkable economic importance, particularly in glove manufacturing, where from 1890 to 1950, 90% of all gloves in the United States were produced in Gloversville. The resolution recognizes the city's robust supporting industries, advanced transportation infrastructure (including an electric interurban line), and its formal incorporation as a village and later a city in 1890. By acknowledging Gloversville's continued commitment to enhancing citizens' quality of life, supporting businesses, and maintaining essential services, the resolution seeks to pause and recognize the city's historical contributions and ongoing significance to New York State. The document concludes by resolving to transmit an official, engrossed copy of the resolution to the City of Gloversville.
