    The
    107th Infantry Regiment
    was a regiment of the
    New York Army National Guard
    . The regiment was formed in 1917 and disestablished in 1993.
    The 107th traces its history to the Seventh Regiment of New York (or
    7th New York Militia
    /7th Regiment New York State Militia). Known as the "Silk Stocking Regiment" for the high number of New York City's social elite among its ranks and its armory's location on Park Avenue in the Silk Stocking District of the
    Upper East Side
    ,
    it was established in 1806
    in response to the blockade of
    New York Bay
    in April by warships of the British Navy, whose commanders claimed the right to detain and search American vessels and
    impress
    any British subjects serving on them.
