BOOLTOWN
From
The Origin of Place Names in Tompkins County by W. Glenn Norris (1951).
"Booltown.
A local name given to a small area containing a few houses built by Henry Bool for his workmen whom he employed in his large greenhouses. It was located on the Dryden Road east of and adjacent to the present Cornell University apple orchards. The land is now owned by the University, and although the houses remain, the localism Booltown has nearly disappeared."
The 1949 USGS TOPO map {
Ithaca East Quadrangle: New York-Tompkins Co. 1949. USGS 7.5 Minute Series (Topographic)} shows a group of 4 residential buildings along the south side of Dryden Road just east of Caldwell Rd. Further east is another residential building opposite the McConville Barns. See
