history

Downtown Chittenango

The Chittenango settlement was founded in the early 19th century. The Chittenango Canal Company, founded in 1818, built an artificial waterway in the 1820s as part of the construction of the Erie Canal, which connected the Chittenango settlement with the canal. In 1825 the place is shown on a map called Chittening . The place name comes from the word Chu-de-Nääng ' from the Oneida language and means "where the water flows north". Chittenango's growth was influenced by its convenient location on the Erie Canal and Chittenango Creek. Restaurants, hotels and factories were built. Since Chittenango was connected to the Hudson River via the Erie Canal , it was possible to transport goods as far as Manhattan .

Around 1828, the politician John B. Yates came to the city and founded several companies there, including a grist mill and a sawmill . He was also instrumental in founding the first parish, today's First Presbyterian Church of Chittenango. On March 15, 1842, Chittenango was incorporated as a Village. A year later a fire brigade was founded and a railway depot was built . At that time Chittenango had between 900 and 1000 residents, three churches, ten shops, a flour mill and the Yates Polytechnic Institute . In 1853 the first bank was founded in the city. After about ten years the bank was closed again, and in December 1863 the First National Bank of Chittenango was founded. In 1871 Chittenango received a school.
