FYI, There is no “Town of Blue Mountain Lake” Blue Mountain Lake is a very lovely Hamlet in the Town of Indian Lake.
Well-deserved awards! My interested was piqued in learning that there are new Towns in the Adirondack Park! I always thought the Village of Saranac Lake was in the Towns of Harrietstown (in Franklin County), North Elba, and St. Arman (in Essex County). I have also always believed that the Village of Lake Placid was in the Town of North Elba, and that Onchiota was in the Town of Franklin. When I lived in Blue Mountain Lake, it was in the Town of Indian Lake….
Thanks for pointing out the errors. They were carried forward from the press release and have now been corrected.
To all of the previous commentators, I say: Only in NY, kids.
Many NY ‘towns’ and counties predate the War for Independence, and even the State itself. In NY, there is no real UN-incorporated area.If you leave an incorporated City/Village, you are in a Town(ship) all chartered by the State. Likewise, although the US Postal Service might deliver mail over adjacent boundaries, using the postal-location of the sent-mail; that does not, of course, change the legal situation of the town/city/village/hamlet. But, WAIT!!! to confuse things even MORE!!!, the Supreme Court in NY isn’t … supreme. There is a trial/appellate Supreme Court in each County (incl. the 5 Counties in NYCity). The only court with State-wide jurisdiction and effect is: The Court of Appeals. Clear now, boys and girls? Dismissed. Play nice and Keep the sandbox tidy.
