Ithaca

In 1794, Simeon DeWitt received 1,400 acres located along the southern banks of Cayuga Lake from his father-in-law. DeWitt divided the land into lots and in 1807 he named the new community Ithaca. Ithaca incorporated as a village and became the county seat in 1817.https://youtu.be/6yVimUgsNlYFunding provided by a grant from Empire State Development.Links:Path Through History: https://paththroughhistory.iloveny.com/WSKG’s Path Through History: https://www.wskg.org/pth
