Newstead is the most northeastern town in Erie County, New York, United States. The population was 8,594 at the 2010 census. The name is reportedly derived from Newstead Abbey in England. The Town of Newstead is northeast of Buffalo, New York, and its principal community is the Village of Akron. ==History== The town was first settled around 1801. The Town of Newstead was established in 1823 as the "Town of Erie" from the eastern part of the Town of Clarence. In 1831, the town's name was changed to "Newstead", reportedly on the advice of Abigail Fillmore, who was fond of the poetry of Lord Byron. A fire in the 1870s destroyed town records, leaving little historical information about the town between 1823 and 1870. The discovery of Gypsum and the related cement industry helped promote the area. 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「Newstead, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
