Boundary Dispute Over Boston Corner Ends as New York Gains Land
A long drawn boundary dispute between Massachusetts and New York centered on Boston Corner. After proposals and failed lines, Congress fixed a start point near the Massachusetts Connecticut line and traced a northwest path leaving valley lands in New York. In 1854 Massachusetts ceded 23 000 acres including Boston Corner to New York, which restored order and left a fragment of the old border on the state map.
