RECOGNIZING THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE TOWN OF ALABAMA Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 67 (Thursday, April 16, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 67 (Thursday, April 16, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E336] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE TOWN OF ALABAMA ______ HON. CLAUDIA TENNEY of new york in the house of representatives Thursday, April 16, 2026 Ms. TENNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the Bicentennial of the Town of Alabama, located in Genesee County, New York. In the early 19th century, settlers began to gather in the region, appreciating the abundant resources the land offered. By 1828, the previously named town of Gerrysville was officially renamed Alabama. Within the town there are four hamlets: Alabama Center, Basom, South Alabama, and Wheatville. For 200 years, Alabama has respected and maintained its strong farming heritage. The fertile land has proven Alabama and the surrounding area as one of the foremost agricultural regions within the State. Agricultural growers and producers continue to responsibly steward the land, providing fresh products to our region and country. As the town celebrates its 200th anniversary, I join my colleagues in wishing its residents a wonderful year of celebration and many more future milestones. ____________________
