Senate Resolution No. 61
 
BY: Senator WALCZYK
 
        COMMEMORATING the 225th Anniversary of the Town of
        Watertown, New York, in 2025
 
  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  intent  of this Legislative Body to honor and
commemorate  the  distinguished  histories  of  the  communities   which
comprise the noble body of this great Empire State; and
 
  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the  225th  Anniversary of the Town of Watertown, New York;
and
 
  WHEREAS, In 1791, Watertown was part of Macomb's Purchase; on  March
14,  1800,  it  was  incorporated  as  a  town,  before the formation of
Jefferson County, while still in Oneida County, and is presently part of
Jefferson County; and
 
  WHEREAS, When the Town of Watertown was settled, the  United  States
military established its first permanent presence in the region, located
at  nearby  Sackets  Harbor;  the  purposes of this installation were to
guard the international border and combat smuggling in the St.  Lawrence
region; and
 
  WHEREAS,  The  Town  of  Watertown  is  just  south  of  the City of
Watertown which was incorporated in 1869; it is also 25 miles  south  of
the  Thousand Islands; in 1909, Fort Drum, a United States Army military
reservation, was established just northeast; and
 
  WHEREAS, There are many places of interest in  the  Watertown  area,
including  the  John  Losee  House  which was added to the United States
National Register of Historic Places in 2014; and
 
  WHEREAS, Of historic origin, and remaining fruitful over the ebb and
flow of decades of growth and change, the Town of Watertown continues to
provide the quintessential quality of life for its residents; and
 
  WHEREAS, The residents of  the  Town  of  Watertown  have  a  bright
outlook  for  the  future  of  their community which remains a beautiful
place in which to live, raise a family, conduct business, and enjoy  the
natural  beauty  and  historical sites that make this sector of New York
State a charming and welcoming community; and
 
  WHEREAS, In recognition of Watertown's  rich  history  and  enduring
contribution to the State of New York, this Legislative Body is proud to
pay  tribute  to  this  spirited  Town  upon  the  occasion of its 225th
Anniversary; now, therefore, be it
 
  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
commemorate  the  225th  Anniversary of the Town of Watertown, New York,
recognizing the significance of the role it continues  to  play  in  the
life of the communities of the State of New York; and be it further
 
  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the Town of Watertown.
