Cicero, New York

Cicero is a town in northern Onondaga County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 Census, the population was 31,435. The name of the town was assigned by a clerk interested in the classics, honoring Cicero, a Roman statesman.

The Town of Cicero is in the central part of New York and a suburb of Syracuse in the northeastern section of Onondaga County.

Cicero was one of the townships of the former Central New York Military Tract, land reserved for soldiers of the American Revolution.

The Town of Cicero was formed in 1790 as a Township in the Military Tract, but was part of the Town of Lysander when Onondaga County was formed in 1794 and was separated from Lysander in 1807. The first settler to arrive was John Leach, who established a tavern at Cody's Corners.

In 1827 the town was split approximately in half, with the western portion of Cicero becoming the Town of Clay.

The Stone Arabia School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 48.5 square miles (126 km2), of which 48.5 square miles (126 km2) is land and 0.1 square miles (0.26 km2) (0.10%) is water.

The northern town line of Cicero, marked by the Oneida River, is the border of Oswego County. The eastern town boundary is the border of Madison County, marked by the Chittenango Creek.
