New Hartford is a town in Oneida County, New York, United States. As of the 2010 census, the town population was 22,166. The name of New Hartford was provided by a settler family from Hartford, Connecticut. The Town of New Hartford contains a village, also named New Hartford. New Hartford is the largest suburb of Utica, New York, which is located directly north of the town and village. == History == The name "New Hartford" was given to the small town by the Kellog family who arrived from Hartford, CT, in 1772, becoming the very first settlers. The Town of New Hartford was settled in 1788 by Jedediah Sanger, who was 37 years old. Sanger bought 1,000 acres 4 km²) of land at fifty cents per acre. The first building, his home, went up in 1789. He and his family then set upon building a saw mill, and later a grist mill in 1790. The country's first ingrain loom and the first cut nails were manufactured by Sanger. The second cotton mill in New York state, the New Hartford Manufacturing Co. was incorporated on March 9, 1810. As the town grew, it incorporated hotels, a blacksmith, a harness shop, a bakery, a drug store, and a draper each in his own building. For its early years, New Hartford had no governmental organization, and was one of the many communities within the Town of Whitestown. It was not until 42 years later that there was local government: the Town of New Hartford was formed from part of Whitestown in 1827. 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「New Hartford, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
