The 107th Infantry Regiment was a regiment of the New York Army National Guard. The regiment was formed in 1917 and disestablished in 1993. The 107th traces its history to the Seventh Regiment of New York (or 7th New York Militia/7th Regiment New York State Militia). Known as the "Silk Stockings" for the high number of New York City's social elite among its ranks,〔Lukasik, Sebastian Hubert, ''Military Service, Combat, and American Identity in the Progressive Era'', p. 84 () "The 7th Regiment of the New York National Guard carried on its muster roles the names of so many scions of New York City's social prominent families that is was commonly known as the "Silk Stocking" or "Blue-Blood" Regiment."〕 it was established in 1806 in response to the invasion of New York Bay by warships of the British Navy, whose commanders claimed the right to detain and search American vessels and impress any British subjects serving on them. ==Time-line== Source:〔 * 1806: Established in New York in response to the blockade of New York Bay by British ships.
