About Utica

Utica northwest of new york city. Utica and the nearby city of rome anchor the utica-rome metropolitan statistical area, which comprises all of oneida and herkimer counties. Formerly a river settlement inhabited by the mohawk tribe of the iroquois confederacy, utica attracted european-american settlers from new england during and after the american revolution. In the 19th century, immigrants strengthened its position as a layover city between albany and syracuse on the erie and chenango canals and the new york central railroad. During the 19th and 20th centuries, the citys 20th-century political corruption and organized crime gave it the nickname like other rust belt cities, utica underwent an economic downturn beginning in the mid-20th century. The downturn consisted of industrial decline due to globalization and the closure of textile mills, population loss caused by the relocation of jobs and businesses to suburbs and to syracuse, and poverty associated with socioeconomic stress and a decreased tax base. With its low cost of living, the city has become a melting pot for refugees from war-torn countries around the world, encouraging growth for its colleges and universities, cultural institutions and economy. According to the united states census bureau, utica has a total area of 17.02 square miles16.76 square miles of land and 0.26 square mile east of syracuse. Although uticas population halted a forty-year decline in 2010, influenced by this influx of refugees and immigrants. Utica has a low cost of living but its industrial and economic decline have posed difficulties for people trying to make a new start.
