Owasco, New York
Owasco is a town in Cayuga County, New York, United States. It is part of the traditional territory of the Cayuga nation. The population was 3,793 at the 2010 census. Owasco is in the eastern part of Cayuga County and is at the southeast city line of Auburn. The town borders Owasco Lake, from where it gets its name.
In early times, Owasco was home to the Cayuga, who lived primarily between Owasco and Cayuga lakes, which lay between the territory of the Onondaga and Seneca. Jesuits founded missions among the Cayuga in the mid-17th century. In 1660, there were approximately 1,500 Cayuga.
The land was first settled by Europeans around 1792, by a man named Herman Mesgow.[citation needed]
After the American Revolution, most Cayuga relocated to Canada after the Treaty of Canandaigua in 1794, although some bands were allowed small reservations in New York. New York made separate purchases and leases of land from the Indians, which were not ratified by the US Congress.
The town of Owasco was formed in 1802 from the town of Aurelius.
Lakeside Park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 23.5 square miles (60.8 km2), of which 20.9 square miles (54.1 km2) is land and 2.6 square miles (6.7 km2), or 11.05%, is water.
Owasco Lake, one of the Finger Lakes, defines the western town line. The eastern town line is the border of Onondaga County. Sucker Brook enters Owasco Lake at the northern end, and Owasco Outlet marks the town line, south of Auburn. Dutch Hollow Brook enters Owasco Lake near Burtis Point.
