Dutchess County, New York (1016 words)
Dutchess County was one of the 12 original divisions of the Colony of New York, organized by the first Colonial Assembly on November 1, 1683.
As a result, Connecticut agreed in 1731 to cede to New York a territory equivalent in area to the 61,440 acres which comprise the present townships of Greenwich, Stamford, New Canaan, and Darien.
The tract ceded by Connecticut to New York extended the whole length of Dutchess County along the Connecticut border and has been known since as "the Oblong." A slight ambiguity in the surveying remained undecided until 1879, when the present State line was finally established.
