Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Syracuse, New York, is a city with a rich and diverse history that dates back to its founding in 1805. Originally settled by European colonists, the area was home to the Onondaga tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy. The city’s strategic location along the Erie Canal helped it grow into a major transportation hub during the 19th century, attracting immigrants from Europe and establishing itself as a center of industry and commerce. Syracuse played a pivotal role in the abolitionist movement, serving as a key stop on the Underground Railroad and hosting prominent abolitionist speakers such as Frederick Douglass. The city also became known for its advancements in education and healthcare, with the founding of Syracuse University and the development of groundbreaking medical research. Today, Syracuse continues to thrive as a vibrant urban center, with a diverse population and a strong sense of community pride. The city’s historic buildings, cultural institutions, and bustling downtown district are a testament to its enduring legacy and ongoing commitment to progress.
