Jamestown, NEW YORK - Seven Churches - Birdseye - 1912

Description: Jamestown, NEW YORK - Seven Churches - Birdseye - 1912: Jamestown is a city in southern Chautauqua County, New York, in the United States. The population was 31,146 at the 2010 census. Situated between Lake Erie to the northwest and the Allegheny National Forest to the south, Jamestown is the largest population center in the county. Nearby Chautauqua Lake is a fresh water resource enjoyed by fishermen, boaters and naturalists. Chautauqua Institution is approximately 17 miles away, offering music, theater, educational classes and lectures for nine weeks during the summer. Jamestown is named after James Prendergast, an early Chautauqua County settler. His family purchased 3,500 acres (14 km2) in 1806, in the area now known as Chautauqua County. James Prendergast explored the area that is now Jamestown. Prendergast saw the area to be valuable, and so he purchased 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) of land in the area in 1808. In the fall of 1809, Prendergast and an employee, John Blowers built a log cabin, which became the first building in Jamestown. Another log cabin as well as mills and a dam were built on the Chadakoin River later on. In 1855, Nightwatch was created for the purpose of looking out for fires. Jamestown was incorporated into a village in 1827 and incorporated into a city on April 19, 1886. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1912, is in good condition, but shows some edge and corner wear. Published by Monarch Stationery & Paper Co., Jamestown, NY. No. 9488.
