Town of Marcellus Clerk Archival Records Listing

The Town of Marcellus was established in the year 1794. It has an approximate size of 35 square miles. It is located on the lower west side of Onondaga County, between the town of Skaneateles and the Town of Onondaga, in the valley, roughly 13 miles from Syracuse. The main routes of travel are State Routes 174 and 175. The present village is about one tenth of its original size. It was originally made up of the Towns of Marcellus, Camillus, Elbridge, Van Buren, Skaneateles, Geddes and parts of Spafford, Otisco, Onondaga and the western half of Syracuse. Two industries that employed many people were Stone Mills and Woolen Mills. Today, Marcellus is a great example of a nice town, with residents such as college professors, writers, artists and other professionals. It has an exceptional government, great schools, fine churches and many delightful shops.
