Carlton Town Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, England. Founded in 1904 as Sneinton Football Club, it was described in 1909 as "the leading amateur football club in Nottingham". Its reputation declined thereafter, with the team participating in obscure county divisions until the 1995–96 season saw the club join the nationwide league system. Carlton competes in the Northern Premier League's Division One East in the eighth tier of the English football pyramid. Its home base since the early 1990s has been the Bill Stokeld Stadium (entrance pictured). It won promotion in 2006–07 from the Premier Division of the Northern Counties East Football League. Tournament records include reaching the third round of the FA Amateur Cup four times; the third qualifying round of the FA Cup twice; the first round of the FA Trophy in 2021–22; and the third round of the FA Vase in 2005–06. The club is nicknamed "the Millers" and its main colours are yellow and blue. (Full article...)

Coat of arms of Idaho Territory

Coat of arms of the Idaho Territory, an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from 1863 to 1890.

Idaho Territory originally covered all of the present-day states of Idaho and Montana, and almost all of the present-day state of Wyoming, omitting only a corner in the state's extreme southwest portion. It was wholly spanned east-to-west by the bustling Oregon Trail and partly by the other emigrant trails, the California Trail and Mormon Trail which since hitting stride in 1847, had been conveying settler wagon trains to the west, and incidentally, across the continental divide into the Snake River Basin, a key gateway into the Idaho and Oregon Country interiors. After several reductions, the final extent of the territory was admitted to the Union as Idaho.
