  • Jamestown, New York Historical Markers
    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. Senske, City Historian Revised and updated in 2019 by Ashley Senske 1 1.
