330-433: A Roman Catholic priest from Germany told her the vine was a "Tokay" ( Tokaji ) from Hungary . Mrs. Scholl, however, referred to the grape as a Catawba. Adlum's first vintage from his estate was produced in 1821 or 1822 (the history of winemaking at "The Vineyard" is unclear), and in 1822 had about 10 acres (40,000 m) under grape cultivation. Adlum sent Jefferson a bottle of what he called "Tokay" in 1822, but Jefferson

396-539: A tanning business. John disliked the work, however, and began studying mathematics. He apprenticed as a surveyor, and in 1784 established a surveying practice. He won a commission in 1789 to survey the area around Presque Isle (now Erie, Pennsylvania ), and to survey the navigability of the Susquehanna River . He later won a joint contract to survey the navigability of the Schuylkill River . Adlum

When given such a command, they bear the title company/battery/troop commander . U.S. Army Special Forces (12-member) Operational Detachments Alpha are also commanded by a captain, who has the title of "detachment commander." Marine captains are company grade officers. These captains generally serve as staff officers in battalions/squadrons (aviation), regiments/aviation groups (MAG or MACG), or in MAGTFs (MEU and MEB) and typically have an opportunity to command companies, batteries (artillery and air defense) or various types of detachments, with

528-427: A household in the city was $ 26,475, and the median income for a family was $ 30,762. Males had a median income of $ 26,792 compared with that of $ 20,612 for females. The per capita income for the city was $ 13,439. Roughly 20.0% of families and 23.8% of the population were living below the poverty line, including 31.8% of those who were under the age of eighteen and 15.8% of those who were aged sixty-five or older. York

594-461: A popular national Christmas, home decor and gift retailer, has been based in York since its founding in 1971. Its flagship location is housed in the historic Meadowbrook Mansion, which was built in East York during the early 1800s. The six columns on the mansion's front porch were reused from the second York County Courthouse cupola, which had been located at 28 East Market Street from 1841 until it

660-438: A portion of "The Vineyard" and establish an agricultural experiment station. The proposal was not acted on, however. In 1825, Adlum determined that the "Tokay" was not a Tokaji, and he began referring to the grape by the term Mrs. Scholl had used. (Botanist Liberty Hyde Bailey says that Adlum changed the name in 1828, but that does not fit with the rest of the known history of Adlum's winemaking.) Later investigations showed that

792-744: Is also home to four national historic districts : Fairmount Historic District , Northwest York Historic District , Springdale Historic District , and York Historic District . Much of York's culture represents the city's evolving role as an agricultural and industrial center. The historic York State Fair , which claims to be the country's oldest, traces its roots to 1765. It runs every year in late July for ten days, encompassing an entire week and two weekends. In addition to typical fair attractions, such as rides, games and contests, it also wins regional recognition for hosting many musical artists, such as Alabama , Gretchen Wilson , Carrie Underwood , Toby Keith , and Lynyrd Skynyrd . The fairgrounds, branded

The York area is also home to two major manufacturers of modern hydro-power water turbines , Voith Hydro in West Manchester Township and American Hydro in Hellam Township , both of which manufacture enormous parts in their plants. Spring Garden Township , directly south of York, is the headquarters to York International ,

990-749: Is now the Cleveland Park neighborhood north of the town of Georgetown . This land was, at the time, known as the "Addition to the Rock of Dumbarton". (The "Rock of Dumbarton" was a 50-acre (200,000 m) parcel adjacent to Rock Creek and Georgetown owned by George Corbin Washington , nephew to President George Washington .) He added another 1 acre (4,000 m), purchased from Joseph Nourse, on June 11, 1819. His final land acquisitions came on February 4, 1820. They consisted of 93.75 acres (379,400 m) from James Dunlop (who had also purchased part of

1122-685: Is the largest city in the York–Hanover metropolitan area , which is also included in the larger Harrisburg–York–Lebanon combined statistical area of the Susquehanna Valley . York was also known as Yorktown in the mid-18th to early 19th centuries. It was founded in 1741 by settlers from the Philadelphia region and named for the English city of the same name . By 1777, most of the area residents were of German or Scots-Irish descent. It

1188-1057: Is widely believed that Adlum was buried at the Presbyterian Burying Ground in Georgetown. Margaret Adlum died in 1852. John Adlum's body was probably disinterred at this time, and both John and Margaret buried in nearby Oak Hill Cemetery . Gahn and winemaking historian Thomas Pinney claim that Adlum's grave was lost for many years. Adlum's children and grandchildren, however, were buried alongside him in 1852, 1853, 1873, 1892, 1902, 1905, and 1924. Four of Margaret Adlum Barber's grandchildren were disinterred and buried alongside their grandfather as well. These included Carline R. Barber (February 20, 1848 – July 26, 1848), Margaret Adlum Barber (May 20, 1846 – July 6, 1849), Mary Virginia Barber (October 17, 1843 – July 9, 1849), Susan Rowles Barber (April 22, 1842 – July 11, 1849), and Luke White Barber (June 3, 1849 – July 9, 1849). The Adlum and Barber graves were in place by April 1854, with

1254-650: The Washington Evening Star noting their beauty. To commemorate Adlum's horticultural work, the botanist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque named the climbing plant, Adlumia , in Adlum's honor in 1807. Adlum's contributions to American viticulture were largely forgotten after his death. It was not until the end of the 1800s when botanist Liberty Hyde Bailey rediscovered his work, and popularized Adlum's contributions to vine-growing and winemaking. Adlum's home at "The Vineyard" became derelict, and in 1903

1320-447: The 2000 census . As of the 2020 United States census , York had a population of 44,800, of which 38.1% were Hispanic/Latino, 32.4% were non-Hispanic White, 23.1% were non-Hispanic Black, 0.8% were Asian, 0.2% were Native American or Pacific Islander, and 5.4% were mixed or other.

1386-526: The Alexander grape . He sent some bottles to President Thomas Jefferson , who had an extensive knowledge of French wine. Jefferson praised Adlum's Alexander wine, comparing it very favorably to an excellent French Chambertin . Adlum wanted to keep planting European vines (knowing Americans would discriminate against a domestic wine, no matter how good). But Jefferson advised him to stick to domestic varieties, as European vines would take "centuries" to adapt to

1452-522: The East Coast . Adlum's own winemaking efforts were not successful, however. He added significant amounts of sugar to his must , he often mixed poor-quality wild grapes with his Catawba in order to create more juice, and he preferred to allow temperatures to rise as high as 115 °F (46 °C) during fermentation. Nonetheless, he became a national expert on winemaking, wrote extensively in agricultural journals, and lobbied agricultural societies and

1518-609: The pay grade of O-3. It ranks above first lieutenant and below major . It is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant in the Navy/Coast Guard officer rank system and is different from the higher Navy/Coast Guard rank of captain . The insignia for the rank consists of two silver bars, with slight stylized differences between the Army/Air Force version and the Marine Corps version. The U.S. military inherited

1584-528: The "Addition to the Rock of Dumbarton") and 80 acres (320,000 m) from John Heugh. This latter property, called "Gizor", Adlum renamed "The Vineyard," and he built a home there for his family. Adlum began growing grapes on his farm, and in 1819 began cultivating the Catawba grape. Adlum took cuttings from a vine owned by a Mrs. Scholl, who lived in Clarksburg, Maryland , in 1819. Mrs. Scholl advised that

1650-634: The "Big Mac" Plan, did not raise all of the funds sought. After many years of attempting to secure funding for a stadium and a baseball team to play in it, the first decade of the century saw York realize both goals. In 2007, Santander Stadium (now WellSpan Park), home of the York Revolution , opened in the Arch Street neighborhood. The stadium, along with other large projects such as the York County Judicial Center and

1716-654: The American climate and pests. Adlum's military experience did not go unnoticed in Maryland. On January 8, 1799, the federal government commissioned him a major in the 11th Regiment of Infantry of the new Provisional Army . The Provisional Army disbanded in 1800, and Adlum was honorably discharged. Adlum married his cousin, Margaret K. Adlum on December 13, 1805, in Frederick, Maryland . The couple had two children, Margaret Catherine and Anna Maria. Adlum then enlisted in

1782-788: The Appell Center for the Performing Arts, formerly known as the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center, which hosts nationally acclaimed acts in York. Performers here have included Kenny G , Bill Cosby , B.B. King , Béla Fleck , and George Carlin . The historic Capitol Theatre also features many independent and foreign films, making it the only venue in York (and sometimes the entire Susquehanna Valley) to feature some rare, yet critically acclaimed films. The Strand Studio has also branched out and offers live music, usually jazz and acoustic, for

1848-464: The Catawba from Adlum in 1825 and planted the vine on a large scale. Longworth made a vast fortune from the effort. The second great expansion of the Catawba grape came in 1845, when Ulster County, New York , winemaker William T. Cornell obtained cuttings from Adlum to found a major vineyard in the Hudson Valley . Cornell's efforts proved so successful that Catawba cultivation spread over much of

1914-658: The Catawba was a hybrid grape which grew naturally in thin soil along the Catawba River near Asheville, North Carolina . How the vine got to Maryland, or whether Adlum knew that it came from the Catawba River region when he began using Scholl's nomenclature, is not clear. Botanist Liberty Hyde Bailey called Catawba grape "the first great American grape", and Adlum is known as the "father of American viticulture". The Catawba first became widely known after Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati , Ohio , obtained cuttings of

1980-616: The Codo luxury apartment lofts, have come to symbolize York's extensive redevelopment efforts.

Between 1955 and 1970 there were several racial disturbances, most notably the 1969 York Race Riot , which resulted in

2310-622: The battles of Antietam and Gettysburg . During the Postbellum era (1865–1877), York remained a regional center for local agriculture, but increasingly became an important industrial center, with such industries as steam engines , railroad manufacturing, and papermaking achieving dominant status. To this day, York still features unique architecture, ranging from colonial era buildings to large gothic churches. The York Motor Car Co. built Pullman automobiles on North George St. from 1905 thorough 1917. An early and unique six-wheeled prototype

These murders were largely left ignored until thirty-one years later, when allegations of murder and racial prejudice were raised against the mayor, Charlie Robertson . Additionally, the city commonly held unopposed Ku Klux Klan rallies and public meetings, fostering further racial tension. Though the murders of Allen and Schaad were solved and

2640-578: The exact nature of his farming efforts are not clear, it is known that he began a vineyard to begin experimenting with growing native American grapes and using them in winemaking. Adlum's interest in grapes began while he was a surveyor, during which time he took extensive notes on the various types of American grapes he encountered, their growing conditions, flavors, and more. He initially tried growing vines imported from Europe, but these succumbed to disease and insects. He turned his attention to domestic vines, and in 1809 succeeded in making an excellent wine from

2706-765: The federal government purchased a portion of "The Vineyard".

But his lack of success at winemaking itself left Adlum without a good income, and in his later years his family came close to poverty. Adlum attempted to have the federal government purchase his 1828 book, Adlum on Making Wine , and sell it as a national textbook on viticulture. He was unsuccessful in this petition. Longworth observed that by this time, Adlum

In the medical group, captains usually have limited administrative and command responsibility as captain is frequently the entry-level rank for most medical officers and dental officers. In the Space Force, a captain typically has authority over a flight , and is referred to as a flight commander. Captains of all four services routinely serve as instructors at service schools and combat training centers, aide-de-camps to general officers, liaison and exchange officers to other units, services, and foreign militaries, recruiting officers, students in advanced and graduate/post-graduate programs in Professional Military Education institutions and civilian universities, and on various types of special assignments.

Both company-grade officers and non-commissioned officers began wearing chevrons as rank insignia in 1821. The captain wore a single chevron, point up, above the elbow on each sleeve; again, the color was silver for infantry captains and gold for all other captains. In 1832, company-grade officers ceased wearing chevrons and reverted to

3300-511: The rank of captain from its British Army forebears. In the British Army, the captain was designated as the appropriate rank for the commanding officer of infantry companies, artillery batteries, and cavalry troops, which were considered as equivalent-level units.
