Syracuse is a city in central New York that has seen its population grow exponentially since the 1950s. It is well known for being part of the Erie Canal, which stretches from Albany to Buffalo. There are many universities within Syracuse, including Syracuse University. Syracuse also has a number of museums and parks, as well as many events throughout the year for various interests. All these factors have contributed to making Syracuse one of the most livable cities in America according to CityRating.
In 1820, a group of wealthy businessmen from Utica were looking to build a railroad that would connect Utica to the Erie Canal, which had been completed a few years prior. The name "Utica and Mohawk Valley" was chosen for the company because it was located between two rivers, the Mohawk River and Oneida Creek. In 1823, they succeeded in building a mainline from Syracuse to Schenectady.
Located in the northeast corner of New York, Syracuse is a city with a large population and an international flavor. Syracuse has been nicknamed "The Salt City" because it was used as a major stop on the Erie Canal. The canal allowed for salt to be transported westward, making Syracuse an important location in regards to trade. Historically, most of the city's population has been white European descent, but recent decades have seen an increased number of Hispanic residents in the area.
