Talk:Wayne County, New York

Proposed article structure
This article has been dormant for too long. Let's start putting some meat on it. The WikiProject U.S. Counties suggests the following article outline —


 * Introduction

 * Origin of the county's name
 * Circumstances of the county's establishment
 * Major historical events that occurred in county
 * Law/Government
 * County Executive -- current, previous executives
 * representative body?
 * Education
 * Geography
 * County seat
 * Physical geography (area, unique features)
 * Geographic center and bounds, polygonal outline (latitude and longitude points)
 * List of Townships or other subdivisions
 * List of Municipalities
 * List of contiguous counties
 * Major Parks and Cultural Institutions
 * Notable Festivals and Parades, with dates
 * Economy
 * Major industries/products
 * Taxes
 * Demographics
 * County population
 * Racial/ethnic makeup
 * Religious makeup
 * List of Census-recognized cities and towns in the county
 * List of unincorporated communities in the county
 * List of adjacent counties
 * Colleges/Universities in county, sporting teams in county, similar lists
 * A link to a list of counties in that county's state

Sections already addressed are struck through. Let's knock some more off the list.

 * I will take on building one of the Cities/Villages/Towns, etc Templates for the county and will add it. -- Alucard (Dr.) 14:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah I see it's already built - will add it. -- Alucard (Dr.) 14:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. A major revamp has been done and additional topics have been knocked off the list, although some of them have just placeholder info (so expand on them!). Economy copy would be good (apples, etc.) We need more sources, too. Please check over the renovation and look for mistakes and holes.

County genesis simplified
The description of the numerous subdividings of the original Albany County ultimately into Wayne has been extensively reduced. Although very interesting, the detail seems more appropriate as a subpage or a section of History of New York State. I will look for an opportunity to add it to that article, thus preserving someone's interesting work.

Also, I simplified the description of Anthony Wayne. He was honored more for his Revolutionary War accomplishments and his subsequent political career than his Northwest Indian War efforts. Also, the resulting treaties with the Native Americans appear to focus more on territories west of New York, so I coudln't find confirmation of the statement that the Treaty of Greenville helped form New York state. More information is welcome, however.
