'''Syracuse''' is a [[city]] located near [[New York]] near [[Oneida Lake]] which has a population of 147,306 people. The city was settled mainly for missionary and trading purposes. The [[French]] were the first to establish a [[mission]] in the 1600's along the shores of Syracuse's lake. Before Syracuse was known as Syracuse, it was called Bogardus Corners because the first building in the area was an inn owned by Mr. Bogardus. <ref>http://www.syracuse.ny.us/historyOfSyracuse.asp</ref>
