With the writing of the article this week, if you were confused with the previous week’s article, let me continue with this confusion. Greene, has the distinction (and I believe to date) the most school districts of the townships in Chenango County. The research information that this writer has obtained counts approximately forty-two different district numbers. Part of these was joint districts and part was district numbers that were change: example last week #2 to #22 then to #16. However, Greene has the distinction of having two #17 districts as is titled above.
The first #17 - Lansing District was in existence from 1871 to 1901 and the school house is no longer in existence. The second #17 - Echo Lake was in existence from 1901 to 1933 and during that time was taken from Joint #10 then changed to #26 and again no longer standing.
