Millport is a village in Chemung County, New York, United States. The population was 312 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Millport village, New York )〕 The name comes from its former status as a canal port. Millport is in the northwest quadrant of the town of Veteran and is north of Elmira. The mail ZIP code is 14864. It is part of the Elmira Metropolitan Statistical Area. == History == The Sullivan Expedition of 1779 passed through the area. The town's first settler, Green Bently, purchased and developed farmland on the site of the village in 1798. The community was once known as "Millvale" after the village was laid out in 1825. The name was changed to "Millport" in 1829 to recognize its new status by the Chemung Canal which passed by the village. The presence of the canal helped raise the population about 1,000 for a time. Catherine Creek, a north-flowing tributary of Seneca Lake, flows through the village. In the 1840s, several epidemics reduced the population of Millport. 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「Millport, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
