Irving is a hamlet in Chautauqua County, New York, United States. It is located near the east town line and the eastern county line in the town of Hanover. U.S. Route 20 and New York State Route 5 pass through the hamlet, which is next to Cattaraugus Creek; New York State Route 438 terminates just across the creek. The elevation of the hamlet is above sea level. The hamlet is the site of the Seneca nation's governmental headquarters on the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation. Irving alternates as the capital of the Seneca nation with Jimerson Town on the Allegany Reservation every two years; its current run as capital will end in November 2014. Several tax-free gasoline stations and smoke shops are located in the hamlet, as is Seneca Gaming and Entertainment, a Seneca-owned bingo hall. Sunset Bay, another small community, is located just west of Irving. Sunset Bay frequently floods during unseasonably warm winter days because of ice jams that form in the nearby Cattaraugus Creek as water melts.〔("Flooding forces evacuations in Sunset Bay" ), WIVB〕 There was once a popular summer beach community on Snyder Beach for non-Indians (one of the few such locations on the Cattaraugus Reservation). About 80 families leased summer cottages at Snyder Beach on Lake Erie; some had come to the area for generations. The Seneca had repeatedly notified the landowner, John Metzger, that the property was within the reservation and he was not allowed to lease to non-Seneca. In July 2012 Sunset Bay was raided by Seneca marshals, who evicted all non-Seneca lessees because they were not members of the tribe. Seneca officials said that only the Tribal Council could give permission to non-Seneca to live in reservation land.〔 The Associated Press, "Seneca Nation plans to evict non-Indians living on Snyder Beach", 28 July 2012, accessed 7 July 2014〕 〔Herbeck, Dan and Kathleen Ronayne (July 28, 2012). ("Senecas plan to evict Snyder Beach residents" ), ''The Buffalo News'', Retrieved July 28, 2012.〕 The Thomas Indian School of Irving was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. ==References== 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「Irving, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
