Along these latter two sections of the boundary, the so-called kk equivalent tract " or " Oblong," having an area of 61,440 acres, was, in recompense for the Sound settlements which New York surrendered, taken from Connecticut and given to New York; and as thus rectified the whole north and south boundary line, beginning at the northeast corner of the Connecticut parallelogram, was located some two miles to the eastward of the basic twenty-mile distance originally agreed upon. The settlements on the Sound which fell to Connecticut by this determination of the boundary were five in number -- Greenwich, Stamford, Darien, New Canaan, and Norwalk. A sixth settlement, Rye, which had previously belonged to Connecticut, was for the most part transferred to New York, although a portion of its lands fell on the Connecticut side of the line. It was in large measure owing to the aggressiveness of the Rye settlers, and to the questions arising out of the territorial claims made by the Town of Rye as the westernmost locality of Connecticut, that the boundary matter was forced to an issue in 1683. The Rye people, conceiving that the Connecticut colony extended all the way to the Hudson River, complained to the legislature of Connecticut about the purchases or pretensions of New York citizens along the Hudson which came to their notice; and the Connecticut governor brought the subject to the attention of the governor of New York and urged a settlement. And now, under the new boundary treaty of the two provinces, Rye itself was rudely sundered from its parent colony and made a part of New York. This was extremely repugnant to the settlers of Rye, who, indeed, continued to deem themselves as belonging to Connecticut, and ultimately, rather than submit to the government of New York, when that government took certain steps distasteful to them, boldly revolted against its authority and organized the famous " Rye Rebellion." Nor was Rye the only settlement founded by Connecticut men and governed by Connecticut which, against its will, was incorporated inNew York.
