Village of Freeville, NY
Freeville was in the former Central New York Military Tract. It was first settled by Daniel White, a Revolutionary War soldier who cleared land along Fall Creek and built a cabin there around 1798; by 1802 White had established a grist mill at the site.
In the early 1870s, Freeville was transformed from a quiet mill town into an important regional railroad junction when the Southern Central Railroad and the Utica, Ithaca & Elmira Railroad (acquired in 1884 by the newly created Elmira, Cortland and Northern Railroad) extended their lines through the village. Both lines were acquired in the mid-1890s by the Lehigh Valley Railroad, which maintained passenger service at Freeville through the 1930s and freight service until the 1970s.
The Village of Freeville was incorporated in 1887.
As the Freeville tourist bureau likes to point out, their village is the the only incorporated municipality in the nation with the name Freeville.

End of the US 4 Expressway
At one point, US 4 in Vermont was proposed to be an expressway across the state. Nowadays it dead ends at US 7 South of Rutland, across from what I'd now the Diamond Run Maul. This would have become part of the Modified Central Route of the proposed Interstate 92.
"MODIFIED" CENTRAL ROUTE: 281.6 miles from the area of Glens Falls, New York to Portland, Maine. This corridor would have required 97.1 miles of new construction and 70.2 miles of upgrading existing facilities (a 1968-1971 Interstate-quality upgrade of US 4 near Rutland, Vermont is included in this figure). Approximately 114.2 miles would have utilized already existing Interstate highways (I-89 in Vermont and New Hampshire, and I-393 in New Hampshire). The route, which was estimated to cost $346 million by the time it was completed in 1979, would have gone through Rutland and White River Junction, Vermont; Lebanon and Concord, New Hampshire; and Sanford and Portland, Maine. (An extension of the central route east to Calais, Maine was not considered for this study.)
