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.
