Of its 1,258<br \/>\nsquare miles, 1,212 are land and 45 are water, about 3.6 percent. The Mohawk River runs through the<br \/>\ncounty&#8217;s southern half past Utica and Rome, Fish Creek and the Black River Canal cross the<br \/>\nnorthern towns, and Oneida Lake&#8217;s eastern shore, at Sylvan Beach, forms the county&#8217;s<br \/>\nnortheastern tip.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis County lies to the north, Oswego County to the west, Madison County to the southwest,<br \/>\nOtsego County to the south and Herkimer County to the east. <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/lewis-county-new-york\/\">Lewis County<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/oswego-county\/\">Oswego County<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/madison-county-new-york\/\">Madison County<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/otsego-county\/\">Otsego County<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/herkimer-county\/\">Herkimer County<\/a> all border Oneida directly.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Oneida County had a population of 232,125 at the 2020 census, and the latest estimate, from<br \/>\n2025, puts the county near 226,392 residents &mdash; a slow decline typical of upstate New York.<br \/>\nUtica and Rome are the two largest communities, together holding well over a third of the<br \/>\ncounty&#8217;s total population. New York&#8217;s statewide median household income is $82,095<br \/>\n(2023 ACS); Oneida County, an older industrial county, runs below that figure. Population density<br \/>\nworks out to roughly 191 people per square mile of land.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Health care and social assistance is the county&#8217;s largest employment sector, anchored by<br \/>\nMohawk Valley Health System&#8217;s new Wynn Hospital campus in downtown Utica. Turning Stone<br \/>\nResort Casino, run by the Oneida Indian Nation in the town of Verona, is the largest private<br \/>\nemployer in the county and draws visitors well beyond the Mohawk Valley. SUNY Polytechnic<br \/>\nInstitute, in the town of Marcy, anchors a growing nanotechnology and computer-chip research<br \/>\ncluster tied to the state&#8217;s semiconductor investment push. Rome remains home to the Air Force<br \/>\nResearch Laboratory at the former Griffiss Air Force Base, a major information-technology and<br \/>\ndefense-research employer. The county&#8217;s biggest annual event is the Boonville-Oneida County<br \/>\nFair each August, one of the oldest agricultural fairs in the state.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>New York&#8217;s legislature formed Oneida County on 15 March 1798, carving it out of Herkimer<br \/>\nCounty. The name honors the Oneida, one of the Five Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy, or<br \/>\nHaudenosaunee, who held territory across the region before European settlement and displacement.<br \/>\nThe Oneida Indian Nation has kept a reservation presence in the county since the years following<br \/>\nthe American Revolutionary War.<\/p>\n<p>On 6 August 1777, Tryon County militia under General Nicholas Herkimer marching to relieve Fort<br \/>\nStanwix were ambushed near the village of Oriska, in what became the Battle of Oriskany &mdash;<br \/>\none of the bloodiest engagements of the Revolutionary War and now marked by the Oriskany Battlefield<br \/>\nState Historic Site. Utica and Rome grew through the 19th century on the Erie Canal and later rail<br \/>\nlines, drawing waves of Welsh, Irish, Italian and Eastern European immigrants into textile and<br \/>\nmetalworking jobs; Utica remains a resettlement hub for refugees today.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate 90, the New York State Thruway, crosses the county&#8217;s southern towns through Verona<br \/>\nand past Utica and Rome. NY 12, NY 5, NY 8, NY 26 and NY 69 run through the county, along with the<br \/>\nState Route 12 arterial connecting Utica and Rome directly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Syracuse &mdash; about 45 miles west<\/li>\n<li>Albany &mdash; about 90 miles east<\/li>\n<li>Watertown &mdash; about 55 miles north<\/li>\n<li>Binghamton &mdash; about 75 miles south<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Griffiss International Airport in Rome handles general aviation and cargo; Syracuse Hancock<br \/>\nInternational Airport, about 45 miles west, is the nearest major commercial airport. Amtrak&#8217;s<br \/>\nLake Shore Limited and Empire Service trains stop at Utica&#8217;s Union Station on Main Street,<br \/>\nconnecting to New York City, Albany, Buffalo and Chicago.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Where is Oneida County located?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt sits in New York&#8217;s Mohawk Valley, about 45 miles east of Syracuse, bordered by Lewis,<br \/>\nOswego, Madison, Otsego and Herkimer counties.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the population of Oneida County?<\/strong><br \/>\n232,125 at the 2020 census, with a 2025 estimate near 226,392.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is Oneida County?<\/strong><br \/>\n1,258 square miles (3,258 km2), of which 1,212 square miles are land.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the county seat of Oneida County?<\/strong><br \/>\nUtica is the county seat and largest city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many towns and villages are in Oneida County?<\/strong><br \/>\nThree cities &mdash; Utica, Rome and Sherrill &mdash; 26 towns and 16 incorporated villages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What ZIP codes does Oneida County use?<\/strong><br \/>\n13501 for Utica, 13440 for Rome, 13461 for Sherrill, and a further sixteen village codes from<br \/>\n13309 (Boonville) to 13495 (Yorkville), listed above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Oneida County known for?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Battle of Oriskany in 1777, Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, and SUNY Polytechnic<br \/>\nInstitute&#8217;s nanotechnology campus in Marcy.<\/p>\n<p>More counties in this state: <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/category\/new-york\/\">Towns and villages in New York<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oneida County is a county in New York, United States, about 45 miles east of Syracuse in the Mohawk Valley.
