Constantia Historian

The Constantia Historian is the local history resource for Constantia, a town on the north shore of Oneida Lake in Oswego County. Constantia’s story is centered on George Scriba and his land patent, which shaped how the area was settled after New York became a state.

The development of the area during the early days of the newly formed State of New York brought substantial wins and heavy losses. A town historian keeps that story alive, helping residents and visitors understand how the community came to be. Visit Oswego County features the historian as part of the area’s heritage.
