Ava is a town in Oneida County, New York, United States. The population was 678 at the 2010 census. The name allegedly comes from a location in Burma. The Town of Ava is in the north central part of the county. Ava is north of the City of Rome. == History == The town was formed after the American Revolutionary War on May 12, 1797 from land from the Town of Boonville and the major settlement in the area, Ava Corners. Legendary Revolutionary War scout and Indian fighter Nat Foster, who is a possible inspiration for James Fenimore Cooper's character of "Natty Bumpoo," was buried in a family plot just west of Ava Corners on the West Ava Road. A modern marker was placed there in 1937 by Rev. Clarence Mason, his biographer. The European-American settlement began with 9 people, and grew to its largest 1,260 in 1860. By 1920, with urbanization and other demographic changes, the population was 610. In 1905, Hiram Cronk, the last veteran of the War of 1812, died in Ava at the age of 105. The Ava Town Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. 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「Ava, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
