The town is on the north border of Essex County and is southwest of Plattsburgh, south of Montreal, and north of Albany.〔Road distances from Google Maps〕 Jay is inside the Adirondack Park. == History == The area was originally known as "Mallory's Bush", after the principal settlement, based on early settler Nathaniel Mallory, who arrived around 1797 from what is now called Mallorytown Landing in Front of Yonge, Ontario. The town of Jay, named in honor of New York Governor John Jay, was formed in January of 1798 from part of the town of Willsboro. Afterwards, part of Jay was used to form, in whole or part, the towns of Keene (1808), Elizabethtown and Wilmington (1821). In 1822, the town was increased by territory from the town of Chateaugay (now in Franklin County), and the town of Peru (now in Clinton County). Lumber production and iron ore extraction were important to the early economy of the town. Land of Makebelieve, an amusement park (1954–1979), was located in Upper Jay. 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「Jay, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
