About Mexico, New York

Mexico is a town of 5,257 people in Oswego County, and its northwest corner touches Lake Ontario. On April 10, 1792, the State Land Commissioner formed a first Mexico out of the Town of Whitestown, planned as the start of a county that would cover today's Oswego and Jefferson Counties. That plan was set aside for a time, and in December 1794 George Frederick William Augustus Scriba bought and patented a large tract of land that became the second Mexico, today's town and village.

Scriba opened roads from Mexico Bay and Mexico Point to what is now Constantia, plus a highway to Oswego. Those roads drew settlers fast, and soon there were saw mills, gristmills, asheries, tanneries, cheese plants, distilleries, hotels and stores. Lewis Miller invented the spring wagon here, and his wagons became famous across the county for their quality.

  • The Mother of TownsMexico earned that nickname because the original town, created by separate acts in 1792 and 1796, covered ground that later became six counties: Onondaga, Cortland, Oneida, Lewis, Jefferson and Oswego. Those counties now hold 84 towns that were all once part of the first Town of Mexico.
  • A hard first 20 yearsGrowth brought sickness. From 1812 to 1820 a deadly form of dysentery much like cholera swept the region, along with ague and bilious fevers, and more than half of the settlers died of these diseases in the settlement's first 20 years.
  • The Academy of 1822Mexico set up 14 public school districts in 1813 and had 19 by 1895. In 1822 it built a two-story brick school, with lower grades downstairs and the high school upstairs. Called The Academy, it joined the state system in 1833 as the first secondary school in today's Oswego County. In 1936 Mexico became the county's first school to centralize, when 31 districts in Mexico, Palermo and New Haven closed to form Mexico Academy and Central School.
  • Petitions against slaveryAs early as 1835, people in Mexico signed petitions to Washington asking for an end to slavery. Asa Wing traveled the state as a speaker, urging voters to push their lawmakers to ban slave ownership, and Starr Clark led the local Underground Railroad as the area's station master.
  • Grandma Brown's Baked BeansIn 1937 Lulu Brown began baking pans of beans for grocery stores. Demand grew quickly, so Earl, her husband, and Robert E. Brown, their son, moved the operation to Oswego, into an upstairs space at the corner of South Jefferson and Main Streets. Earl died in 1938, and Richard G. Whitney soon came in to form Brown-Whitney-Brown, the company that grew into Grandma Brown's Baked Beans.
