Assembly Resolution No. 1492

BY: M. of A. Palmesano

 COMMEMORATING the 200th Anniversary of the Town of
 Hornby, New York

 WHEREAS, It is the intent of this Legislative Body to honor and
commemorate the distinguished histories of the communities which
comprise the noble body of this great Empire State; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the Town of Hornby in Steuben
County, New York, on Tuesday, January 27, 2026; and

 WHEREAS, The Town of Hornby, New York was established January 27,
1826, and was named for John Hornby, a landowner of the Pultney Estate;
and

 WHEREAS, In about 1814, Asa and Uriah Nash were the first settlers
of the area which is now recognized as the Town of Hornby; they settled
in the north part of the town at "Nash" Lake; and

 WHEREAS, The Town of Hornby is a rural community of 1,682 residents,
located in the southeast part of Steuben County, just north of the Town
of Corning; its topography is characterized by hills and deep valleys
and is approximately six square miles in area, with three main hamlets:
Hornby Forks, Dyke, and Ferenbaugh; and

 WHEREAS, The first town election was held on March 7, 1826; the
first supervisor was Andrew Bray Dickinson, who was later named Minister
to Nicaragua by President Lincoln; he was inducted into the Steuben
County Hall of Fame in 1990 and is one of the town's most distinguished
citizens; and

 WHEREAS, This momentous milestone will be marked with a Bicentennial
Celebration held June 26-28, 2026; and

 WHEREAS, Remaining fruitful over the ebb and flow of decades of
growth and change, the Town of Hornby continues its commitment to
enhancing the quality of life of its citizens, ensuring a positive
business, institutional and educational climate, and providing all
essential services; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the Town of Hornby, New York,
recognizing the significance of the role it continues to play in the
life of the communities of the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Town of Hornby.
