Apache County is located in the northeast corner of the U. S. state of Arizona. As of the 2010 census its population was 71,518; the county seat is St. Johns. Part of the county is assigned to the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. Apache County was formed during the Tenth Territorial Legislation in 1879 out of the eastern section of Yavapai County. By 1895, Navajo County and parts of Graham and Gila Counties were formed from this land; the county seat was placed in the town of Snowflake, but was moved a year to St. Johns. From 1880 to 1882, the county seat was temporarily in Springerville before being returned to St. Johns. A history of the area, written in 1896, records the following about the county: Apache County was created in 1879 and lies in the northeastern corner of the Territory; until March, 1895, it embraced what is now Navajo County, but at that date the latter was set apart and established as a separate county. Apache County is justly noted for its great natural advantages, it is destined some day in the early future to have a large agricultural population.

Now, immense herds of cattle and flocks of sheep roam over its fertile valleys. The Navajo Indians occupy the northern part of the county-in fact, occupy much of the remainder of the county, as they refuse to remain on their reservation, preferring to drive their sheep and cattle on lands outside their reservation, where the grazing is better; the southern part is a fine grazing country, while the northern part is cut up into picturesque gorges and canons by the floods of past centuries. In the late 1880s, the county sheriff was an Old West gunfighter legend. At that time, the county covered more than 21,177 square miles in territory. In September 1887, near Holbrook in what is now Navajo County, Owens was involved in one of the Old West's most famous gunfights, when he killed three men and wounded a fourth while serving a warrant on outlaw Andy Blevins/Andy Cooper, an active participant in a raging range war dubbed the Pleasant Valley War. In 2015, Apache County had the highest rate of death due to motor vehicles in the United States, with 82.5 deaths per 100,000 people.

The Fort Apache Indian Reservation occupies part of the county. According to the U. S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 11,218 square miles, of which 11,198 square miles is land and 21 square miles is water; the county is the third-largest county by area in Arizona and the sixth-largest in the United States. Apache County contains parts of the Navajo Indian Reservation, the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, Petrified Forest National Park. Canyon de Chelly National Monument is within the county. Apache County is one of two U. S. counties to border two counties of the same name, neither of, in the same state as the county itself. Apache County has the most land designated as Indian reservation of any county in the United States; the county has 68.34 percent of its total area. The reservations are, in descending order of area within the county, the Navajo Nation, the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, the Zuni Indian Reservation, all of which are located within the county.

Cooks Mills is a small community in the easternmost part of the city of Welland in Ontario, Canada. It was established, is still centred, on a Welland River tributary called Lyons Creek, it is entirely a bedroom community, as there are few employers located in the area. The community predates the establishment of. In 1799, when present-day Welland was farmland, the Yokom family came from Pennsylvania and built a grist mill on Lyon's Creek. Just before the War of 1812, an Englishman called Calvin Cook purchased the mill and added a tannery, a sawmill and a distillery; the place known as Cook's Mills became a prominent community of the Crowland Township. Towards the end of the War of 1812, a fire fight occurred at Cooks Mills, involving an American contingent sent to destroy flour and grain that might benefit the British. Early on the morning of October 19, 1814, the American picket at Misener's Hollow, just east of the mills, was attacked by soldiers of the Glengarry Light Infantry; the British force was supported by Congreve rockets.

The Americans succeeded in driving off the British, threw the grain and flour into the mill pond. Lyon's Creek headwaters were in the Wainfleet Marsh. However, they were cut off by the construction of the Feeder Canal for the Welland Canal; the creek was carried under the canal through a stone culvert. Due to the construction, the water level in the marsh receded. All the while, the culvert was being clogged up by debris; the flow in Lyons Creek decreased to the extent when it was no longer able to turn the water wheels at Cook's Mills. The industries were abandoned. Thus, the canal, which contributed to development of Welland, became an indirect cause of an economic recession for Cook's Mills. On, Welland beat neighbouring communities in the running for the county seat. Cook's Mills became a farming area as opposed to Welland's industrial centre. Over time, the apostrophes indicating the possessive in Lyon's Creek and Cook's Mills were dropped following a trend in the region exemplified by St. Catharines and St. Johns.

On January 1, 1961, the Crowland Township, including Cooks Mills, was incorporated into the City of Welland. By the time of construction of the Welland By-Pass in 1967-1973, the original headwaters in the Wainfleet Marsh have all but disappeared, most of what flow there was in the creek was coming from an earlier tributary called Indian Creek by some maps; this made Lyons Creek somewhat U-shaped, as Indian Creek flowed west before joining the original Lyons Creek. During the By-Pass construction, the creek was cut into three parts, now what was once Indian Creek flows into the canal. A couple kilometres north, Lyons Creek is fed directly from the canal; the middle part of the creek dried up and much of its bed was torn up during the construction of approaches to the Townline Tunnel. In a recent development, a study on the pollutants in the Niagara River done in 2000 found the organic pollutants polychlorinated biphenyls to be present in the Lyons Creek; the Ontario Ministry of the Environment is investigating the source of PCBs and possible remedial actions to deal with contaminated sediment.

The Welland By-Pass channel separates Cooks Mills from the main urbanized area of City of Welland. The most direct ways of crossing the channel are the Main Townline Tunnels. Built-up areas in Cooks Mills are located close to the roads; the Niagara Road 27 known as Schisler Road, linking Welland and Niagara Falls, runs to the north of the centre of the community, Highway 140 runs to the west, while Montrose Road runs to the east, Netherby Road runs to the south. The main area of Welland is located to the west. To the east is Niagara Falls, to the north is Thorold, to the south is Port Colborne. Lewis, William H.

Pennsylvania Dutch Country is an area of Southeastern and South Central Pennsylvania that by the American Revolution had a high percentage of Pennsylvania Dutch inhabitants. Religiously, there was a large portion of Lutherans. There were German Reformed, Amish, Schwarzenau Brethren and other German Christian sects; the term was used in the middle of the 20th century as a description of a region with a distinctive Pennsylvania Dutch culture, but in recent decades the composition of the population is changing and the phrase is used more now in a tourism context than any other. Greater Pennsylvania refers to this region as well as Pennsylvania Dutch-speaking areas of Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia. Geographically the area referred to as Amish/Dutch country centers on the cities of Allentown, Lancaster and York. Pennsylvania Dutch Country encompasses the counties of Lancaster, Adams, Dauphin, Lebanon, Northampton, Lehigh, Snyder, Juniata, Huntingdon and Centre. Pennsylvania Dutch immigrants would spread from this area outwards outside the Pennsylvania borders between the mountains along river valleys into neighboring Maryland, West Virginia, New Jersey and North Carolina.

The larger region has been referred to as Greater Pennsylvania. The historic Pennsylvania Dutch diaspora in Ontario, Canada has been referred to as Little Pennsylvania; the area lies in the Piedmont region of the Appalachian mountains. The landscape is marked by rolling, wooded hills, deep stream valleys, fertile soils; the Susquehanna River provides its drainage. Contrary to popular belief, the word "Dutch" in "Pennsylvania Dutch" not a mistranslation, but rather a corruption of the Pennsylvania German endonym Deitsch, which means "Pennsylvania Dutch / German" or "German"; the terms Deitsch, Dutch and Deutsch are all cognates of the Proto-Germanic word *þiudiskaz meaning "popular" or "of the people". The continued use of "Pennsylvania Dutch" was strengthend by the Pennsylvania Dutch in the 19th century as a way of distinguising themselves from waves of German immigrants to the United States, with the Pennsylvania Dutch referring to themselves as Deitsche and to Germans as Deitschlenner whom they saw as a related but distinct group.

The German-speaking settlers came from a variety of countries and religious backgrounds, but most became assimilated to Anglo-American language and culture beginning in the second half of the 19th century with English-language evangelism efforts and the outlawing of German-language schooling. The assimilation process continued soon after the turn of the 20th century with World War I, consolidated schools, the advent of mandatory public education until the age of 16, with added pressures from increased mobility, the influence of English-language media and urbanization. Many German-Americans hid their ethnicity with the spread of anti-German sentiment and propaganda; the economy of the region was entirely rural and agricultural, based on the immigrants' dream of bettering their lot through the ownership of their own farms. The small tradesmen indispensable to a rural economy, such as blacksmiths, wheelwrights and storekeepers, constituted the bulk of the non-farm economy. In the 19th century, a small educated class, comprising the Lutheran and Reformed ministers, began to emerge.

The Pennsylvania seminaries educated them in High German so that they could preach to their flocks in a scholarly way. The advent of the industrial revolution brought technologies based on coal, iron and railroads, but the Dutch, unversed in English, lacking connections to the English-speaking establishment, were unable to engage in entrepreneurship on a large scale; the large-scale enterprises which came to characterize the industrialized eastern half of the region, such as the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, the Lehigh Valley Railroad, the Bethlehem Iron Company were founded by English speaking residents from the Philadelphia and New York areas. The English-speakers dominated the managerial and engineering positions of these companies, the Dutch supplied the blue collar and supervisory workforce; as technology advanced during the late 19th century, higher technology companies such as Mack Truck and New Jersey Zinc moved to the region as well. As the local industries expanded, immigrants from Middle Europe were recruited for the low-skilled positions, the more established Dutch retained the skilled blue collar and supervisory positions.

The Dutch influence on the shop floor was so great that some Slavic immigrants became bilingual in their native language and in Pennsylvania Dutch while they had not yet mastered English. In the 20th century, universal public education in English and easy access to higher education erased many of the elements that made the Pennsylvania Dutch Country a distinctive region of the United States; the information age and globalization reduced the dependence of the region on industrial jobs. The Eastern part of the region is now dominated by information-intensive white collar employment; the western counties of the region experienced industrialization as well, with Hershey Foods being the most notable example, but it was less inten
