First long-distance telephone line
The world's first long-distance telephone line, established in 1877, connected French Corral with Bowman Lake (previously known as French Lake) at the headwaters of the Yuba River.  It was strung across trees and poles for a distance of 60 mi (97 km) in Nevada County, California, passing through Birchville, Sweetland, North San Juan, Cherokee, North Columbia, Lake City, North Bloomfield, Moores Flat, 
Graniteville, and Milton.

The line was operated by the Ridge Telephone Company for the service of Milton Mining and Water Company, as well as other water companies.  The line was an improvement over the system used in nearby Downieville, California.

The town is located on the north shore of the Bay of Islands, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Come Home Year
Come Home Year is a Canadian civic event for many towns that encourages a return to home town.  Due to significant economic migration away from many of the small rural towns these events draw many generations to celebrate.

In 2000, there was a provincial "Come Home Year" in Newfoundland and Labrador where many people came back to visit their various communities. 2022 was also a "Come Home Year". According to Tourism NL, “Come Home 2022 will encourage former residents of Newfoundland and Labrador now living away to come home, remind residents of the province of the wonders here in their own 'backyard,' and complement ongoing work to attract and expand marketing efforts with non-resident visitors.”

In 2017, McIvers, Newfoundland hosted a Come Home event that temporarily tripled the town's population.

Cadwgan ap Meurig (fl. 1045–1074) was a medieval Welsh ruler who reigned over the petty kingdoms of Gwent and Morgannwg in the tumultuous years of dynastic struggle leading up to the Norman invasion of Wales.

The chronicler Orderic Vitalis noted in his Historia Ecclesiastica that a Welsh king named "Caducan" suffered defeat in battle at the hands of William FitzOsbern, 1st Earl of Hereford, which would have happened in the year 1070. Subsequently, the Normans established dominance in Gwent and Cadwgan was deposed by an ambitious subject named Caradog ap Gruffydd, son of the former king Gruffydd ap Rhydderch. Whether killed or merely driven away, the ultimate fate of Cadwgan is unclear.

Although it recovered its independence after his death in 1063, Gwent was the first of the Welsh kingdoms to be overrun following the Norman conquest.
