- King's_College_Tract abstract "The King's College Tract is a 20,000-acre (81 km2) area of forested land in the vicinity of the present towns of Cambridge and Johnson in the U.S. state of Vermont. The tract was granted in 1764 by Lieutenant Governor Cadwallader Colden of the New York crown colony, in the name of King George III to the board of governors (trustees) of King's College – today's Columbia University. The grant was intended for the eventual expansion of the college. The emergence of the Vermont Republic in 1777 forestalled claim of the grant, and Vermont's General Assembly made a grant of the same land in 1785 to William Samuel Johnson, an American founding father and jurist who informally represented Vermont before the Continental Congress and argued for its eventual admission to the federal union. By coincidence the association with King's College (Columbia University) continued, as Johnson became president of then Columbia College in 1787. Though Columbia University never moved to King's College Tract, eventually a college was located there. In 1828 John Chesamore founded the Lamoille Academy, predecessor to today's Johnson State College.".
