Suffern is a village located in Rockland County, New York.
The Village of Suffern was founded in 1896 and is located near the south border of the county and the state in the Town of Ramapo.

France Page (4804 words)
In 1719, the French seized Santa María de Gálve, the Spanish recaptured the settlement and were foiled in an abortive attempt to invade Louisiana, and the French returned to overpower and occupy the colony and the bay it guarded.
Eight years later, Los Adaes became the official capital of the new Spanish province of Texas, a role it would maintain until it was abandoned in 1773 after having been replaced by a newly named capital at San Antonio.
Each of these reorganizations resulted in the formation of new regiments, the dissolution or renaming of old ones, and the merging of others into consolidated units bearing either new or old names.
