The population was 1,886 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Ledyard town, Cayuga County, New York )〕 The name of the town is from General Benjamin Ledyard, an early settler. Ledyard is on the western edge of the county and is southwest of Auburn. Wells College, founded as a college for women, is in the village of Aurora. == History == The south part of Ledyard was in the Central New York Military Tract, and the northern part was a reservation designated for the Cayuga tribe. The first settlers arrived around 1789. The town of Ledyard was founded in 1823 from part of the town of Scipio. The North Street Friends Meetinghouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Rose Marie Belforti, Ledyard's town clerk, refused in 2011 to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples, claiming to do so would violate her "freedom of religion", instead delegating the ministerial task to a deputy. She was re-elected in November of that year. 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「Ledyard, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
