       HONORING THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE TOWN OF HORNBY, NEW YORK

                                 ______
                                 

                      HON. NICHOLAS A. LANGWORTHY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 23, 2026

  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Town of Hornby 
in Steuben County, New York, as it celebrates the 200th anniversary of 
its founding. Established in 1826, the Town of Hornby was formed during 
a period of rapid growth and settlement across New York's Southern 
Tier. The town developed as generations of hardworking families 
transformed its rolling hills and fertile lands into a thriving 
agricultural community.
  Throughout its history, Hornby has remained rooted in the values that 
have defined rural America: hard work, self-reliance, community 
service, and a deep connection to the land. Farmers, business owners, 
educators, veterans, and civic leaders have all contributed to the 
town's growth and success while preserving the character and traditions 
that make Hornby a special place to call home.
  As our Nation commemorates the 250th anniversary of American 
independence, Hornby's bicentennial provides an opportunity to reflect 
on two centuries of local history and the many individuals whose 
dedication helped build and sustain this community. Today, Hornby 
remains a proud and close-knit community whose residents embody the 
spirit of service, neighborliness, and perseverance that has defined 
the town since its earliest days.
  On behalf of the people of New York's 23rd Congressional District, I 
congratulate the residents of Hornby on this remarkable bicentennial 
milestone and extend my best wishes for a successful celebration and 
continued prosperity in the years ahead.
