Old Erie Canal aqueduct over Limestone Creek

The town of Manlius was founded in 1794, along with Onondaga country which decreased with the formation of news towns (DeWitt, Onondaga, Salina) and part of Syracuse.

The economy related to trade generated by the Erie Canal contributed to the early development of the town.
