Millerton is a village in Dutchess County, New York, United States with a population of 958 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Millerton village, New York )〕 The village was named after Sidney Miller, a railroad contractor who helped the people of that area with the introduction of the railroad system. Millerton is part of the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middletown Metropolitan Statistical Area of New York as well as the larger New York-Newark-Bridgeport NY-NJ-CT-PA Combined Statistical Area. Millerton was named one of "The Ten Coolest Small Towns in America" by Frommer's ''Budget Travel Magazine'' in 2007,〔http://www.budgettravel.com/bt-dyn/content/article/2007/08/06/AR2007080600775.html〕 and has been featured in the ''New York Times'' article "Williamsburg on the Hudson", which are paraphrased in the History section.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/07/nyregion/hudson-river-valley-draws-brooklynites.html?_r=1〕 Millerton is within the town of North East and is near the border of Connecticut. The town borders Taconic State Park. ==History== The community of Millerton formed after 1851, and the village was incorporated in 1875. Millerton's life cycle is explained in the before-mentioned New York Times article "(Williamsburg on the Hudson )" from the perspective of a lifelong-citizen, Phil Terni, who has lived in Millerton for 65+ years. Terni describes Millerton's early prosperity as "an agricultural crossroads with three hotels served by three railroads", and then described the village's decline as the milk processing plant had shut down and the farms had started dying off as being "toward irrelevance". Millerton's revival as "a rural village with urban influences from nearby towns and boroughs" is shown through the vibrant arts, culture and new small businesses along U.S. Route 44. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Millerton, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
