Watervale, New York
Pompey is a town in the southeast part of Onondaga County, New York. The population was 7,080 at the time of the 2010 census. The town was named after the Roman general and political leader Pompey by a late 18th-century clerk interested in the Classics in the new federal republic. History The area of Pompey was originally part of the territory traditionally occupied by the historic Onondaga, one of the Five Nations of the Iroquois tribes of the powerful '' Haudenosaunee'', or Iroquois Confederacy.

Veterans of the Revolution were awarded land g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
