About: Firelands

An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Firelands, or Sufferers' Lands, tract was located at the western end of the Connecticut Western Reserve in what is now the U.S. state of Ohio. It was legislatively established in 1792, as the "Sufferers' Lands", and later became named "Fire Lands" because the resale of the land was intended as financial restitution for residents of the Connecticut towns of Danbury, Fairfield, Greenwich, Groton, New Haven, New London, Norwalk, and Ridgefield. Their homes had been burned in 1779 and 1781 by British forces during the American Revolutionary War. However, most of the settlement of the area did not occur until after the War of 1812. "Fire Lands" was later spelled as one word: "Firelands."

  • Горелые земли (англ. Firelands), или земли Страдальцев (англ. Sufferers' Lands) — участок, находившийся в западной оконечности Западного резервного района Коннектикута, а теперь это в американском штате Огайо. Как особая территория этот участок был создан законодательным актом в 1792 году, под названием «земли Страдальцев» (англ. Sufferers' Lands), и позже стал известен как «Горелые земли» (англ. Fire Lands), потому что перепродажа этой земли замышлялась ради возмещения убытков горожанам коннектикутских городов Данбери, Фэрфилда, Гринуича, Гротона, Нью-Хейвена, Нью-Лондона, Норуолка и . Их дома спалили британские солдаты в 1779 и 1781 годах во время войны за независимость. Английское «Fire Lands» стало позже писаться в одно слово: «Firelands». (ru)
