Syracuse is located in the southeast corner of the island of Sicily, right by the Gulf of Syracuse next to the Ionian Sea. The city was founded by Ancient Greek Corinthians and Teneans and became a very powerful city-state.
Town north: Phoenix. Syracuse is one of the larger cities along the canal system. The city's growth was primarily due to the local salt deposits and its proximity to the canal system. The original Erie Canal ran right through the city and allowed the vast salt deposits to be mined and shipped to the coast. The modern canal runs south of the city, though utilizing Onondaga Lake, Syracuse is still part of the canal system. There is a large harbor at the south eastern end of the lake to serve the city.
