In Schoen v. Board of Educ. of Cambridge Cent. School Dist. No. 10 of Towns of White Creek, Cambridge, Jackson, Salem & Easton, Washington County (274 A.D. 682, 87 N.Y.S.2d 589 [3d Dept 1949]) the defendant Board of Education managed a school district encompassing five towns in two counties. The only applicable statute, i.e., Civil Practice Act 182 was a predecessor to CPLR 503, the general residence venue provision. The case turned on the court's perception of the "residence" of the Board based on general principles applicable to corporations as residents of the county in which the principal office of the corporation is located.
