The Natural History of Chautauqua 



In 1811 county officers ware appointed by the Governor of the State 

 and Chautauqua became a fully established county. Towns were 

 divided into school districts and a free school system was established. 

 An agricultural society was organized at Mayville, and every effort 

 was made to advance the interests of the farmer. The county made 

 rapid progress and development, until in 1830 the population exceeded 

 34,000.
