geography
Oneida County is located in the hill country east of Lake Ontario in an area mainly shaped by the last Ice Age. The largest body of water is Oneida Lake in the west of the county, on the south and east banks of which are some of the county's settlements. The Pools Brook , a canalised river in the lower reaches, connects the industrial centers of Utica and Rome with Lake Ontario via Oneida Lake and its outflow. The Mohawk River also rises north of Rome . There are no noteworthy surveys; the highest hills rise up to about 300 meters in the south and up to 400 meters in the north.
The county covers an area of 3,255.9 square kilometers, of which 117.1 square kilometers are water.

history
The county was founded on March 15, 1798 as an independent county by separation from Herkimer County and named after the Oneida Indians, after the population of the area had increased sharply during the pioneering phase of the area and an independent administration made sense. The original area was changed and made smaller several times, again in order to create separate administrative areas. In 1801, a section of the then neighboring Clinton County was taken over, in 1805 the areas of the newly established areas of Lewis County and Jefferson County were separated, in 1816 a part was given to Oswego County and, in 1836, when Madison County was founded , parts of the area of the new county of Oneida County surrendered. This ended the biggest changes in area.
The opening of the Erie Canal (completed in 1825) and some complementary canals such as the Chenango Canal and the Black River Canal encouraged the emergence of industrial and commercial centers such as Utica , Rome and New Hartford ; the construction of railway lines from 1838, which supplemented the Erie Canal and also ensured the transport of goods in winter, allowed these centers to grow further.
The county's fertile lands were primarily used for dairy farming, which in turn supplied dairies and, above all, cheese factories. This cheese was then shipped by rail and ship to the major cities on the canal or the rail lines, in particular to Buffalo and New York City , but also to Chicago and Baltimore . For 1865, 80 cheese dairies are documented, of which 79 obtained the milk from 27,176 cows in the county and made around 4,000 tons of cheese from it, with a clear upward trend. Other important branches of industry included logging companies and a number of quarries.
The economic crisis of the 1930s deeply affected the county's economic centers; agriculture, however, was only slightly affected. After the Second World War, the railway system was largely replaced by the construction of expressways, which led to a further economic boom that continued into the 1970s. Since then, workers have been migrating, particularly to the metropolises on the great lakes and the east coast.
There is a national monument in the county , Fort Stanwix . Six locations have National Historic Landmark status . 76 buildings and sites in the county are registered in the National Register of Historic Places (as of February 17, 2018), including the Deansboro Railroad Station .
