       CELEBRATING THE TOWN OF CORINTH'S BICENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ELISE M. STEFANIK

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 23, 2018

  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize the 
Town of Corinth as it celebrates its 200th Anniversary.
  The Town of Corinth was formally created in 1818 from the Town of 
Hadley, but was originally called Jessup's Landing after brothers 
Edward and Ebenezer Jessup arrived from England. To establish the area 
as a town, the town fathers gave Mrs. Washington Chapman the honor of 
officially naming the town. She opened the Bible by chance to the First 
Corinthians, and proclaimed the town to be called Corinth. Since then, 
the people of Corinth have worked hard to develop a prosperous 
community loved by all who live there.
  Located on the banks of the Hudson River in the foothills of the 
Adirondack Mountains, the surrounding lakes, streams, and woodlands of 
the quaint town provide beauty at every turn. For the past 200 years, 
the residents of Corinth have enjoyed life in this beautiful area of 
the North Country as they continue to develop and modernize their 
community. On behalf of New York's 21st District, I want to 
congratulate Corinth, New York, on its 200th Anniversary, and wish its 
residents all the best as they celebrate this momentous occasion.
