The three towns had been small suburban villages which were directly adjacent to one another. Kingston was laid out in 1855 by Jesse B. Lutz. Chauncey was platted in 1860 by the Chauncey family of Philadelphia, wealthy land speculators. Ch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
