About Ulysses, New York
Ulysses is a town in northwest Tompkins County, with Cayuga Lake forming its eastern line and Seneca County to the north. Its land lay in the Central New York Military Tract, which paid soldiers who had fought in the American Revolution. In 1790 Robert Harpur named the town for the hero of Homer's Odyssey, and the first settlers arrived around that same year.
Ulysses was organized in 1794, at a time when this ground still belonged to Onondaga County. The early town covered far more land than it does now. Dryden split off in 1803, and Enfield and Ithaca followed in 1821. Ithaca took its name from the hero's home in ancient Greece, so the old link to the Odyssey carried over to the new town.
- Trumansburg, begun in 1792Abner Treman started the village of Trumansburg in 1792, two years before the town was organized. It grew into the main settlement in Ulysses and sits in the northwest part of the town on Route 96.
- A drop of 215 feetTaughannock Creek falls 215 feet at Taughannock Falls, a longer drop than Niagara Falls. It is the highest waterfall in New York and ranks among the highest falls east of the Rocky Mountains. The falls lie in Taughannock Falls State Park, in the town's northeast corner.
- Jacksonville's three namesThe hamlet southeast of Trumansburg on Route 96 was first called Harlows Corners and then Van Cortland Village. Its people later renamed it after Andrew Jackson, and it has been Jacksonville ever since.
- Named for a mill wheelPodunk, a hamlet south of Trumansburg, took its name from the sound of water running over a mill wheel. Other hamlets carry the names of early settler families: Halseyville honors the Halseys, and Krum's Corner honors the Krums.
- A picnic since 1950Willow Creek flows into Cayuga Lake at Goodwin's Point, where Taughannock Falls State Park now stands. Families in the Willow Creek neighborhood have gathered in the park every year since 1950 for their own community picnic.
