Historic Map - East Syracuse, NY - 1885
Description
East Syracuse, N.Y. Published & drawn by L. R. Burleigh. C.H. Vogt & Son, lith.
Reproduction map of East Syracuse, New York, drawn and published by Lucien R. Burleigh in 1885. East Syracuse was originally known as "Messina" and was situated along the northern edge of the Erie Canal. In the 1870's, the main line of the New York Central Railroad was laid through town and the DeWitt Rail Yards were established. Factories produced venetian blinds and buggy whips. As the area became more important as a railroad transportation center, the village changed its name to East Syracuse and it was incorporated in 1881.
This bird's-eye view map from 1885 includes buildings, clearly labeled street names and railroad yards.
