North Syracuse, New York Relocation Guide
|
Population: 6,862 Located in Onondaga County
The Village of North Syracuse was established in the year 1880, and it has an approximate population of 7,500 people. It was originally called Centerville, and is located 2 miles north of Hancock International Airport. The main routes of travel are State Routes 11, 81, and 481. Being the first village north of Syracuse, it was appropriate to name it "North Syracuse". When Indians were the primary inhabitants in this Country, an Indian Footpath went from Pennsylvania up to the St. Lawrence River, and passed through the center of N. Syracuse, which is now Rt. 11. In 1844, the first plank road was built on Rt. 11. It was 16 & 1/2 miles long and 8 feet wide. Shortly after the Syracuse Northern Railroad was built in 1871, the plank road was abandoned from Central Square to Brewerton. |
