The 107th Infantry Regiment was a regiment of the New York Army National Guard. The regiment was formed in 1917 and disestablished in 1993. It traces its history to the Seventh Regiment of New York (or 7th New York Militia/7th Regiment New York State Militia) which was a state militia regiment which was established in 1806 and has gone through numerous redesignations. It was organized in response to the invasion of New York Bay by British warships who had claimed the right to apprehend and search American vessels and take from them any British subjects serving therein.
