Syracuse: University Town on the Erie Canal
Syracuse sits in central New York at the foot of Onondaga Lake and is the seat of Onondaga County. The city has roughly 148,000 residents and a metropolitan area near 660,000. Syracuse University, founded in 1870, is the largest institutional anchor and enrolls around 22,000 students on its hilltop campus south of downtown.
The original Erie Canal, completed in 1825, passed through downtown Syracuse, and the city's early growth tracked the canal traffic directly. Salt production in the Onondaga Lake area was the other major economic engine; Syracuse was nicknamed the Salt City, and salt taxes funded much of the canal's construction. Industrial runoff from salt processing and later chemical manufacturing left Onondaga Lake one of the most polluted lakes in the United States, with cleanup continuing under court order for decades.
The JMA Wireless Dome, formerly the Carrier Dome, serves as Syracuse University's football and basketball venue. Its 49,000 seats for football and 35,000 for basketball make it one of the largest domed stadiums on a college campus. The State University of New York Upstate Medical University and Crouse Hospital are among the city's largest employers.
