   COMMEMORATING THE ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE TOWN OF NORTH 
                                HARMONY

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM REED

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 15, 2019

  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the one 
hundredth anniversary of the Town of North Harmony.
  The original town of Harmony was the largest town in Chautauqua 
County, comprised of approximately eighty-six square miles. In order to 
ensure the efficient administration of the town's affairs, the County 
saw fit to create a new town. On December 19, 1918, the Chautauqua 
County Board of Supervisors passed an act to establish the Town of 
North Harmony. The Town became official on January 1, 2019, dividing 
the original town of Harmony in two.
  Whether they are lifelong residents or new in town, the citizens of 
North Harmony love their town. When asked for their favorite memories 
of the town, they provided a variety of answers. Some recalled fun 
times spent on Lake Chautauqua, while others recounted community 
celebrations like Asheville Days. For some, growing up in North Harmony 
brought back fond memories spent with family and tractor rides with a 
grandparent.
  One hundred years as a community and a town is certainly a cause for 
celebration. I congratulate the Town of North Harmony for withstanding 
the tests of time and look forward to many more years of North Harmony 
providing a community for our friends and neighbors.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to celebrate the Town of North Harmony's one 
hundredth anniversary.
