Legal Definitions - gore

Definition: Gore is a small, narrow strip of land that can be found in different contexts:

1. In history, it referred to a small, narrow slip of land.
2. It can also refer to a small triangular piece of land that is left between surveys that do not close.
3. In some New England states like Maine and Vermont, a gore is a subdivision of a county that has little population and is not organized as a town.

For example, a gore can be a small piece of land that is left between two properties that have been surveyed. It can also be a small area of land that is not part of any town or city, but still belongs to a county.

These examples illustrate how a gore can be a small and often overlooked piece of land that has a specific legal or historical significance.
