  • Historical Marker Book
    JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK HISTORICAL MARKERS Throughout the estimated 4.6 billion of years of planet Earth’s history, the land upon which we find ourselves has experienced all the events common to the eras of that history. About two million years ago, glaciers intruded on the land as they no doubt had numerous times long before. Each time they advanced and receded in that last two million years, they destroyed nearly all evidence of earlier advances and recessions and evidences of intervening warmer periods. The last time they came, they smoothed out our valleys, pointed all our hills southeast, brought in boulders and cobbles from Canada and all points in between, and built a ridge that impounded Chautauqua Lake. They also left big blocks of ice in the ground that thawed and left holes that are now our smaller lakes. Jamestown was settled in 1810. Historic mention of the land Jamestown was built on goes back to 1749; for Chautauqua Lake back to 1739. But pre-historic Native Americans visited and traversed the area perhaps as many as 14,000 years ago. We can never know the hunting stories or the human incidents these campers and travelers experienced locally. However, we do know a little about the relatively recent human history. And that is what this book is about. Historical Marker Committee Clair C. Carlson Karen E. Livsey Arthur E. Osterdahl Traci Langworthy B. Dolores Thompson, City Historian Emeritus Ashley M.

  • Strange Stories of Chautauqua Lake
    1 STRANGE STORIES OF CHAUTAUQUA LAKE For the Ham Radio Club, October 21, 2016 INTRODUCTION Chautauqua Lake is a favorite topic of many past and present local historians. In addition to the major general historians who have dealt with the lake, a number of specialists have concentrated on it. The ones who come to mind most prominently are the Victor Nortons, senior and junior, Jean Lawson (also deceased) of L-S Aero Marine and the late Martin Arend and Dan Lincoln. Malcolm Nichols is apparently responsible for much of the obscure material about the lake in the Fenton Historical collection. Homer Danielson included lake stories in his highly personalized writings. I tip my hat to these and others, living and dead, as I venture into their cherished territory. 1 CHAUTAUQUA LAKE FOR DRINKING WATER If you look in local history books and collections, you find very little about the history of community water supplies. This is part of the general neglect of technological history. Through most of the 19th century rural drinking water came from springs and later dug wells, sometimes driven wells. Even in larger villages, Jamestown for example, the same situation prevailed. In that period the concern for public water systems arose from the need for fire protection. Domestic water use was something of an afterthought. Around the early 1870's, a private system, windmill powered, began to provide parts of Jamestown with spring and driven well water. About 1874 this was supplemented, particularly when needed for fire fighting, by water drawn from the outlet by Holley pumps driven by two water turbines, six and four feet in size, locally cast.
