Perrysburg is a hamlet, census-designated place, and former village in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States. The population was 401 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Perrysburg village, New York )〕 It is named after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. The community is in the south-central part of the town of Perrysburg. The hamlet is west of Gowanda. == History == A settlement has been located in the general area of the current village since the early 19th century. Early settlers included veterans of the War for American Independence and the War of 1812, who had used their pensions to buy farmland through the Holland Land Company. The village of Perrysburg was incorporated in 1916. Both the village and the town have been spelled "Perrysburgh" in the past. By 1880, the population of the village of Perrysburg was about 400, with many more living in the surrounding town. It was also a station stop on the New York & Erie Railroad.〔Perrysburgh, Cattaraugus County, NY (Web Page )〕 In 1910, the city of Buffalo, beset by the public scourge of tuberculosis, purchased almost of land adjacent to the village using proceeds from Mayor James Noble Adam's personal fortune, for the purpose of establishing the Buffalo Municipal Hospital for Incipient Tuberculosis.〔(Buffalo's Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Perrysburg ), Larry Behan, July, 2005〕〔(A Tuberculosis Directory Containing a List of Institutions, Associations and Other Agencies Dealing with Tuberculosis in the United States and Canada ), page 55〕 The facility opened in 1912 and later became the J. N. Adam Memorial Hospital. The presence of the hospital led to a dramatic increase in the local population with the arrival of medical professionals, hospital workers and people visiting patients at the facility. Since the hospital closed its doors, a popular local legend holds that a stained glass dome in the Hall Rotunda was salvaged from the Temple of Music at Buffalo's Pan-American Exposition. However, a visual comparison between the surviving dome and this rendering〔(Art Nouveau and Other Expressions: Rediscovering the Architecture of Esenwein & Johnson. Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, 2007 )〕 shows no resemblance between the two. On March 16, 2010, voters approved, by a 60-9 margin, a referendum to dissolve the village into the town of Perrysburg. The dissolution took effect at the end of 2011. Perrysburg joined Randolph, East Randolph and Limestone among Cattaraugus County villages that voted to dissolve within a six-month span, with all but Limestone having approved their dissolutions on March 16. 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「Perrysburg (CDP), New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
