Watertown (town), New York
Watertown is a town in Jefferson County, New York, United States. The population was 5,913 at the 2020 census. The town is located in the central part of the county and borders the city of Watertown to the south, east, and west. As the city has a population of 24,685, or four times the town's population, references to "Watertown, New York", usually apply to the city rather than the town.
Numerous sites of aboriginal habitation were found by early surveyors of this region. The region was later part of Macomb's Purchase.
Watertown was established as a town on March 14, 1800, from Mexico before the formation of Jefferson County, while still in Oneida County. The towns of Rutland (1802) and Hounsfield (1806) were soon formed from parts of Watertown.
The town was first settled in 1800 around the time of the first permanent US military presence in the region, which was established at nearby Sackets Harbor to guard the international border and to fight smuggling in the St. Lawrence region.
In 1816, the community of Watertown set itself off from the town by incorporating as a village. It became a city in 1869.
The John Losee House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 35.8 square miles (92.7 km2), of which 35.7 square miles (92.4 km2) are land and 0.1 square miles (0.3 km2), or 0.28%, are water. The town is bordered to the north by the city of Watertown and by the Black River.
The town of Watertown is in central Jefferson County, and is bordered to the north by the city of Watertown and the towns of Brownville, Pamelia and Le Ray, to the east by the town of Rutland, to the south by the towns of Adams and Rodman, and to the west by the town of Hounsfield.
