Allegany is a town in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States. The population was 8,004 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=United States Census Bureau )〕 The Town of Allegany is on the south border of the county, west of the City of Olean. There is a village named Allegany inside this town. The origin of the name Allegany is uncertain. It may have come from the name of a tribe called Allegewi that lived along the Allegheny River’s banks. It may also be based on an old Native American word meaning ‘lovely’ or ‘beautiful.’ ==History== The town was first settled around 1820 by Ebenezer Reed who moved from Connecticut. The Town of Allegany was formed on April 18, 1831 as the "Town of Burton" from a part of the town of Great Valley. On March 28, 1851, the name was changed to "Allegany." In 1836, part of Allegany was used to form the Town of Humphrey. A new community to be called "Allegany City" was proposed in 1837 to be built south of the Village of Allegany, but the plan was halted after a planned railroad changed its route. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allegany (town), New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
