Cobleskill is a village in the western part of the town of Cobleskill in Schoharie County, New York, USA. The population was 4,533 at the 2000 census.〔 The village is southwest of Amsterdam. The State University of New York at Cobleskill is located at the western side of the village. == History == The Village was settled in 1752, and was incorporated in 1868. It is generally accepted that a German grist miller named Jacob Kobel (variated as Kobus, or Cobel) built a mill on the Cobleskill Creek. The Dutch word for river or creek is ''kill'', thus the name Cobleskill, for "Cobel's creek". The Schoharie County Sunshine Fair, formerly known as the Cobleskill Sunshine Fair, has been held annually in Cobleskill since 1876. An agricultural fair, it draws tens of thousands of people to attractions such as livestock shows, demolition derbies and tractor pulls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2010 Grandstand Schedule of Events )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=On the Grounds Every Day )〕 The Cobleskill Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. 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「Cobleskill (village), New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
