Kings County Place Names Project

17 Aug 2017 12:05 PM | Anonymous

Paul Illsley recently launched a Kings County Place Names Project website in hopes of gathering information that will reveal the origins behind the names of local communities and bodies of water.

The information collected will be worked into a document that he plans to have added to the archives at the Kings County Museum. Paul hopes locals with information regarding place names in Kings County will seize the opportunity to share what they know for the benefit of future generations.
