The Town of Mexico is located just
20 to 30 miles north of the growin
g metropolitan area of Syracuse,
and is near an interchange of Inter-
state 81, a major north-soouth
transportation artery.  It is also
within easy commuting distance
of the smaller cities of  Oswego
and Fulton.  Mexico is served by
four New York State arterial high-
ways that provide high speed 
transportation linkage to surrounding
area. 

Accessibility to employment centers
coupled with the town's rural environ-
ment and location within the scenic
Lake Ontario shoreline region make
it an attractive residential environment.

Mexico was first formed into a town
by an act of the New York State
Legislature in April 1792.  The Town
included all of the present counties
of Onondaga and Cortland and the
western and central portions of
Oswego County.   The land commis-
sioners were ordered by the Surveyor
General to lay out and name each
new town.  Possibly one of the
commissioners was interested in
Central America, and chose Mexico
for a name.
