Photo by Harry Thompson Bishop (1895-1963), from https://oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt6r29q3hx/?brand=oac4 Original file: https://ibb.co/PZHnhdF or https://imgbox.com/cNKTvHsF or https://pixhost.to/show/16/348943576_utcopley-james.jpg This work is in the public domain because it was published in the United States between 1928 and 1963, and although there may or may not have been a copyright notice, the copyright was not renewed. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart and the copyright renewal logs. Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 years p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 years p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 years p.m.a.), Mexico (100 years p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 years p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties. I checked on the Catalogs of Copyright Entries, and there is no copyright renewal on either San Diego Union or San Diego Evening Tribune. Therefore, this photograph lapsed into public domain.

Official Website

This area was occupied by the Mohawk Indians for hundreds of years prior to European colonization. Many warriors allied with the British during the war. When the British lost, they ceded all the Iroquois territory of the Six Nations (the Tuscarora had joined the confederacy in the 18th century) to the United States, without consulting the tribes or bringing them into negotiation.

In 1784, following end of the American Revolutionary War, the European-American settlers renamed Tryon County as Montgomery County. This change was to honor the general, Richard Montgomery, who had captured several places in Canada and died in 1775 attempting to capture the city of Quebec during the Revolutionary War. It replaced the name that formerly honored the last provincial governor of New York.
