 The 1792 boundaries of District 7 were used by mapmakers Beers, Ellis and Soule for their 1867 "Atlas of New York and Vicinity" to define the section of town they called "Pimpewaug".According to CACN, the boundaries still define the neighborhood.The influence of the Cannon family, particularly Charles Cannon (1824–1892), his son George (1784–1829) and his grandson, also Charles, was so great that the central area of Pimpewaug became known as "Cannon's" or "Cannon" by the time the railroad line was built through the area and needed a name for the new station.
