History

Syracuse, or Emerald City, is an economic and educational hub in a region with over a million people. Syracuse has many convention centers and hosts the annual Great New York State Fair. The city gets its name from Siracusa, on the Italian island of Sicily. The site of an ancient salty lake, the dark, gloomy swamp belonged to the Onondagas who, at the climax of the French and Indian war, transferred it to local salt producers. The coming of the Erie Canal through the village brought an increase in salt sales, which became the city's primary industry. Until 1900, the bulk of the salt used in the U.S. came from Syracuse, dubbed 'Salt City.' The railroad brought other industry. World War II brought in specialty steel, fasteners, and custom machining. After the war, General Motors and Chrysler had major operations there, but these industries declined in the 1970s. Syracuse's top employers are now in education and service sectors. In 2010, Syracuse was rated fourth by Forbes in the top ten places to raise a family.
