City of Rome, New York
Rome is a city in Oneida County, New York. It is located near the southern foothills of the Adirondack Mountains, approximately forty miles northeast of Syracuse and approximately twenty miles northwest of Utica. Rome’s initial settlement in the 18th century was due to the confluence of the Mohawk River and the Wood Creek River. It allowed water travel between the eastern seaboard and points westward, including the Great Lakes. In the 19th century the Erie Canal was built though Rome, further enhancing the city’s growth. The peak of the city’s population was in the 1960’s when it had more than fifty thousand residents. With the decline in factories, the population has steadily decreased, like other cities and towns in the area., its population was estimated at 32,000.
