Thus, many of the main hills, valleys, creeks and roads run diagonally across Hebron in keeping with the general outlay of the Appalachians.

The nexus of the Champlain and Hudson Valleys (described in greater detail below in the paragraph on watersheds) is located here.

The taller peaks of the Taconics are on the Vermont side of the border, and begin to dwindle comparatively into foothills in Hebron.

The eastern town line of Hebron is the Vermont border, and the beginning of New England proper.

The towns of Argyle, Hartford and Granville (famous for its colored slate) make up the remaining border on the western and northern edges.

NY Route 22 is a north–south highway through the eastern part of the town, running roughly parallel to the Vermont border.

Hebron is at the threshold between two major watersheds whose waters travel great distances in opposite directions, only to rejoin in the Atlantic Ocean.

The formal valleys and watersheds to which Hebron belongs are the following: Champlain Valley/Lake George Watershed—02010001 [1]; Hudson River Valley/Hudson-Hoosic Watershed—02020003 [2].

Many of the parcels were transferred from officers and soldiers to speculators, who sold them to New England and Scotch-Irish settlers.

Its namesake is the biblical Hebron, the largest city in the present-day West Bank, 30 km south of Jerusalem.

Two historic milepost markers remain in the town, one at 7047 State Route 22, the second just north of Chamberlin Mills Road.

In 1978, the East Hebron Fire Company was formed after the homes of Nelson Greene and Alfred "Pug" Getty burned down.

Getty donated the land and Greene led the group of volunteers who built Station Two.

The earliest published reference to the Beauty of Hebron variety is from the 1876 Annual Agricultural Society Meeting in Marblehead, Massachusetts.

The next year, in 1877 the US Department of Agriculture introduced the Beauty of Hebron potato to growers in 26 states for tests.

Various major seed companies of the time claimed credit for its commercial introduction, including J. M. Thornburn of New York City, JJH Gregory of Marblehead, and Peter Henderson of New Jersey.

The Beauty of Hebron was one of the varieties used to restock the British Isles after the potato blight and Great Famine of Ireland.

Most current tissue culture stocks and tubers came from Elmer Hansen of Alberta, Canada; in 1988 he provided seed to Will Bownall and the Seedsavers organization, devoted to preserving historic varieties.

Station Two is located on NY Route 22, south of the intersection of Sheldon Rd, Chamberlain Mill Road and NY-22.
