Reproduction bird's-eye
view map looking northeast of Jamestown, Chautauqua County, New York,
drawn by H. Brosius and A. F. Poole and published by J. J. Stoner in
1882. The city of Jamestown is at the southern end of Chautauqua Lake in
Chautauqua County. The town was named after James Prendergast, an early
settler who had built the first dam and sawmill there. Furniture making
was Jamestown's most prominent industry with local hardwoods being used.
The wood's burning also produced pearl ash which was harvested for use
in the glassmaking industry. The community produced so much pearl ash it
became known as "The Pearl City". In the 1880's, Jamestown was becoming
home to so many furniture manufacturers it was dubbed "Furniture Capital
of the World".
