Not sure, but wasn't Cattaraugus Co formed from Niagara?

> Not sure, but wasn't Cattaraugus Co formed from Niagara? Nope. The western portion of the state was split off from Genesee County in 1808, forming Niagara (including the present Erie), Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua counties. Erie was split off from Niagara in 1821. For other New York county origins/formation dates, see <http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygenweb/county.htm>. Of course, New York State county boundaries did change every ten years or so :-), so I suppose it's possible that something along the Erie- Cattaraugus border could have *originally* been part of Niagara, and is now in Cattaraugus. But I don't think that something at 42.09.20 N could ever have been -- it's too far south. Ellen
