History of NEW YORK STATE ELECTRIC AND GAS CORPORATION – FundingUniverse

New York State Electric and Gas Corporation (NYSEG) serves central, eastern, and western New York State, an area which, though mostly rural, includes the cities of Binghamton, Elmira, Corning, and Ithaca. Its territory includes one-third of the state's land area and a tenth of its population. With more than 775,000 electric customers and almost 220,000 gas customers, NYSEG serves a diversified population of industry, agriculture, recreational facilities, and colleges and universities.

NYSEG traces its history back to October 28, 1852, when six Ithaca businessmen pledged a total of $75,000 and incorporated as the Ithaca Gas Light Company. The fledgling company soon laid mains and built a coal gas plant. In 1853 Ithaca's streets saw their first lamps.

Haunted Places in Maine – Route 2A

While there are numerous haunted places in Maine, one of the most haunted is said to be a rural section of road in northern Maine off of U.S. Route 2 called "Route 2A". This particular stretch of road runs through what is known as the "Haynesville Woods" which is located in the town of Haynesville in the southern portion of Aroostook County. Before the construction of Interstate 95, U.S. Route 2 was one of the most widely utilized thoroughfares by truck drivers hauling potatoes out of the State of Maine. This isolated stretch of road can be treacherous in the wintery months of New England and has one particularly sharp curve of nearly 90 degrees.
