Webb, New York : ウィキペディア英語版 | Webb, New York
Webb is the northernmost town in Herkimer County, New York, United States. It is named after William Seward Webb, President of the Raquette Lake Transportation Company, the Fulton Chain Railway Company, Fulton Navigation Company, and the Mohawk and Malone Railway. The railroads in Webb were instrumental in opening the Adirondacks to the tourism rush of the mid- to late 19th century. The Adirondack Scenic Railroad traverses the town. == History == Attempts were made to settle Webb around 1800 and 1811, but both efforts failed. The first permanent settlers arrived around 1837. In 1836, the "Town of Wilmurt" was formed from parts of the towns of Ohio and Russia. Only the south part of Wilmurt was heavily settled. Webb was formed from the northern part of the now-defunct town of Wilmurt in 1896. Part of Wilmurt was returned to the town of Ohio. When Dr. Webb's Mohawk and Malone Railway reached the town in 1892, it precipitated twenty years of prosperity from lumbering and tourism
