| 词条 | Cornwall County, Province of New York |
| 释义 |
HistoryOn October 7, 1673, Massachusetts, relying on a new survey of its northern border, and responding to the Dutch capture of New York in August 1673 as a result of the Third Anglo-Dutch War, claimed {{convert|200|sqmi|km2|-2}} of the Duke of York’s territory east of the Kennebec River in present day Maine, including the Pemaquid settlement, and established a new county there. On May 27, 1674, this county was named Devonshire. Cornwall was implicitly reduced to the area north of the Massachusetts claim.[2][3][4] Cornwall and Devonshire were lost to the Abnaki Indians in a war in the Autumn of 1675.[5] Cornwall County was recreated on November 1, 1683, conforming to the original grant, still part of New York.[6] Cornwall continued unchanged until the Spring of 1687, when it was transferred to the expanded Dominion of New England, extinguishing New York’s claim to the land.[7] Cornwall County was transferred from New England to Massachusetts in 1692 and called Yorkshire. Much of this region became part of Maine when that state was admitted in 1820. References1. ^{{cite book|last=Williamson|first=William D.|authorlink=William D.
