In fact, we’d bet more people these days think of grape pies than they do Widmer wines when contemplating Naples." (In Naples. the grape will still reign supreme ) September 29, 2009 Daily Messenger〕〔The Great Grape Pie Escapade September 14, 1988 Washington Post〕〔Craig Goldwyn Pie is Naples' purple passion Oct 23, 1978 Chicago Tribune page E3〕 == History and other information == Naples was part of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase. The town was established in 1789 along with Ontario County, and settlement began the following year. The town, known at one time as "Watkinstown" (after Captain Nathan Watkins, a Revolutionary War veteran and early settler) and "Middletown," was finally given the name "Naples" in 1792. Naples was not quickly settled due to its hilly terrain. Part of the new town was used to form the Town of Italy in 1815, and another part was used to form part of the Town of Springwater in 1816. Grapes, first planted in the 1860s, led to the modern grape and wine industry of the town and also led to the annual grape festival which began in 1961, one of which was broadcast on the World Food Network. The Widmer's Winery produces Manischewitz wine. Naples Academy was founded in 1860. The main building of the current Academy was built during the New Deal program during the Great Depression by one of the public works programs set out by FDR. The school district currently serves grades Pre-K through 12, with grades Pre-K through 6 being in the Elementary School and grades 7 through 12 in the Jr/Sr High School across the street. 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「Naples, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
