Tryon County, New York
Tryon County (New York) was a county in the province of New York named after Governor William Tryon . 1784, the County was in honor of General Richard Montgomery in Montgomery County renamed.
Tryon County was established as part of Albany County, New York in 1772 , partly at the instigation of William Johnson . Because the county had no clear western border, it theoretically extended to the other side of North America . In reality, the Iroquois Confederation in a large area around Oneida Lake meant that the territory was not available to white settlers, especially because Johnson was protecting the interests of the indigenous people. In fact, Johnson's motivation for establishing the county was in part to protect the interests of the Indians .
Prior to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War , some members of the county formed a security committee to intimidate their loyalist neighbors, which ultimately led many to flee to the safety of Canada . When the war in the area subsided, the hated governor's name was erased. The county began to fill again and soon had more inhabitants than before the war.
Under the name Montgomery County, this huge area was divided into several counties in what is now New York State . The first new county was Ontario County in 1789 and the last was Fulton County, New York , in 1838 .
