History

French missionaries first came to the area in the 17th century and established a mission. However, within two years it was abandoned because of threats from neighboring Indian tribes. Additional settlers came to Syracuse after the Revolutionary War when salt was found around the city. The name Syracuse is from the town of Syracuse in Italy. The city was incorporated in 1848. Syracuse was a popular city in the abolitionist movements and was also a spot on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War.

Around the turn of the 20th century, new industries entered the city as the salt industry began to decline. Starting in 1950, Syracuse's population started to decline as people moved out of the city and into the surrounding suburbs. In more recent years, the city has slowly started to rebound from these declines.
