PARCEL RECORD, NOVEMBER 2026

Founding plat and size. Long's 1st Addition carries 28 parcels in the instrument, its family near 30 with its successor plat(s) — the third-largest named neighbourhood in the town, and, like Boles, a multi-act family rather than a single opening, though a smaller and shorter career: one substantial first addition and a small tail. Subdivider. Long is the surname and nothing more on the record reached: no sketch, directory line or register entry pulled for this build identifies the Long who platted, and the name is common enough in the county record that assigning the plat to any particular Long without the plat book's signature block would be a guess dressed as research. It is not done here. Street plan and character. At parcel strength, Long's reads as the town's standard residential accretion — described lots, ordinary streets, no builder or design record found (November 2026) — a neighbourhood whose character in November 2026 is its quiet persistence: near 30 parcels still answering to a nineteenth- or early-twentieth-century subdivider's surname in their legal descriptions long after the name left the town's spoken geography, if it was ever in it. Present state: near 30 live parcels, family whole. Named gap (per-plat settler): founding date, subdivider identity and signature, original lot count and plan as drawn — the Recorder's plat book and page for Long's 1st Addition (and its successor plat).
