CHAPTER VII.
1. History of Oswego County. 2. Population by Towns. 3. Towns composing the first and second assembly districts. 4. Towns composing the three commissioners' school districts in Oswego county. 5. Towns in third commissioner's district.
The first record of the "white man's foot" pressing the soil of what is Oswego county, dates back to 1615, five years before the historic "Landing of the Pilgrims" upon Plymouth Rock, and 123 years to a month after Columbus planted upon the virgin soil of the new continent the banners of Ferdinand and Isabella, in token that by right of discovery, it was to be forever the property of Spain.
In 1615, the fearless explorer, Samuel Champlain, was warily leading a little band of ten Frenchmen through the wilderness south and east of Lake Ontario, then the home of the fierce Iroquois Indians.
His little expedition was but part of a great scheme to bring the entire country under the sway of France. That country had then obtained a strong foothold along the St. Lawrence. Besides her political efforts, she made use of religious means to aid her. In 1654, Jesuit priests explored the country near the mouth of Oswego River, and established missions in its vicinity, for the conversion of the Iroquois. In 1665, Father Jacques and Simon Le Moine tra- versed the wilds of Oswego county, and labored among the Mo- hawks and Onondagas. For many years, devoted Catholic priests, undeterred by not infrequent martyrdoms among their number, continued to make their way into the wilderness, endeavoring to humanize and civilize by religious precept and example the savage inhabitants. Thus the French were pioneers in this section, and it was not until 1700 that the English made any successful attempt at exploration, then only penetrating as far as Oswego City. It was from 20 to 25 years later that a permanent trading post was estab-

lished on the site of Oswego City by order of the New York Colonial Government. An extensive and profitable trade was car- ried on along that region between the French and English and the Indians.
Furs were the most wealth of the Indians, and these they gladly exchanged for gay blankets, silver jewelry, cotton cloth, liquor and articles of food. In 1725, the name Ontario was first given to the great lake which washes the western borders of Oswego county. In 1726, seven Indian chiefs made a grant to the English of a large tract of land, including much of Oswego county.
A year later, workmen were sent to build a "stone house of strength" at Oswego, and this was the origin of the present Fort. Thereafter, the place steadily grew in importance and became the most important military station upon the western frontier. During the French and Indian wars, it was the scene of various military operations and of bloody struggles.
In 1756, it was besieged by the French under Montcalm, cap- tured and entirely destroyed, while 150 of the garrison and resi- dents fell beneath the tomahawks of Montcalm's savage allies. Later on, it was rebuilt in a substantial manner and remained until 1839, when the present fortifications were constructed. The British held the Fort all through the Revolution, and until 1796, when it was surrendered according to treaty.
In 1790, Geo. Scriba, a German merchant of New York City, purchased 500,000 acres of land lying between Lakes Ontario and Oneida. This was known as Scriba's Patent and included 14 of the present townships in Oswego county. In 1795, it was surveyed and divided into townships. The county of Oswego was formed from portions of Onondaga and Oneida counties, and named Os- wego from the principal river, the Oswego. It contains 1038 square miles, and contains at the present time about 90,000 inhabitants. The surface of the county is gently undulating. Along the shores of Lake Ontario, is a series of bluffs from 20 to 40 feet high. Its northern and eastern portions are drained by Salmon River and its tributaries, and by small streams which flow directly into the lake.
The southern and western portions are drained by Oswego River, which is formed from the junction of Seneca and Oneida Rivers,
150
HISTORY OF ORWELL.
It falls 128 feet in its course in several distinct falls, thus forming excellent water-powers. Salmon River has one fall of 110 feet in Orwell township. The principal bodies of water are Lakes Ontario and Oneida. The former, with the exception of the indentation known as Big Sandy Pond, in the town of Sandy Creek, presents an almost unbroken coast line for forty miles along the northern boundary of the county.
The only harbor of importance is at the mouth of Oswego river. The soil of the county varies greatly. It contains four kinds of rock: the Lorraine shales, bordering Lake Ontario, and which form deep, rich soils; a grey sandstone which forms a very thin, poor soil, red sandstone used largely for building stone, and along its southern border the Clinton group of shales and sandstones. This latter formation contains iron ore. Along the shores of Oneida Lake is found a fine quartz sand used largely in manufacturing glass. Quantities of limestone are found in the eastern part. The population of the county is largely agricultural. Stock raising and dairying are important branches of business, as is the raising of grains and wool. Its manufacturing and commercial interests are large, especially in the vicinity of Oswego City, which manufac- tures more flour than any county in the State outside of Oswego. Extensive lumbering operations are carried on along the course of Salmon River, which serves as a highway for its transportation. The Oswego Canal, 38 miles long, connects Lake Ontario and the Erie Canal. The Courts are held respectively at Pulaski Village and Oswego City.
