A Drive Around Ogdensburg, NY
Over 260 years ago Sulpician missionaries from Quebec traveled up the St. Lawrence River by canoe in search of a site for a new settlement and mission. French-born Abbé François Piquet thought the site strategically located and elected to build his mission and fort here in 1749. It was the first white habitation of what would eventually become the City of Ogdensburg, NY. [1]
Picquet christened the settlement as Fort de la Présentation for the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. His intention was to instruct the indigenous peoples of the area and safeguard the land for his native France. The Fort served as a church, school, trading post and Native American village. The first mass at the site was celebrated on June 1, 1749. [2]
Ogdensburg's French phase ended in 1760. Downstream in the St. Lawrence River on Chimney Island Fort Lévis was constructed by Captain Pierre Pouchot, French engineer and soldier. Fort Lévis was the location of the last major battle among the French and English in the French and Indian War. Both Forts came under British rule. Fort la de Presentation was renamed Fort Oswegatchie and became a supply depot and a demanding stopping place for traveling soldiers. [3]
British forces and the new United States of America fought for command of the region. The British were ultimately ordered to vacate the area on June 6, 1796 and the first settlers under the American Flag arrived in Ogdensburg on August 11, 1796. Ogdensburg was named for Colonel Samuel Ogden, who was a patriot during the Revolutionary War. [4]
Ogdensburg has the honor of being one of the rare places in the United States to have been under the government of three flags. Over the course of the next 20 years, Ogdensburg became an essential border community. Industry blossomed along the river and Ogdensburg began to flourish. The total population of Ogdensburg went from 138 in 1800 to 16,610 in 1820. [5]
On April 5, 1817, Ogdensburg became the first incorporated village in St. Lawrence County. The letter 'h' was added to its name and dropped when it became a city on April 27, 1868, the only city in St. Lawrence County and the only United States City on the St. Lawrence Seaway. The City expanded into a busy shipping center for river traffic and greeted its first train in 1850. The beginning of the railway drew trade from the upper lakes to New England. By 1860, Ogdensburg was known as 'New York of the North'. [6]
On February 16, 1872, Pope Pius IX designated the City as the See of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg. The first telephone was installed in July 1881 in the dwelling and offices of the Proctor Lumber Company. The HuffDeland Airplane Company, established in the early 1920's in Ogdensburg, fabricated airplanes for the United States Government, the company left Ogdensburg shortly after and became Delta Airlines. In 1929, after a tour of the St. Lawrence River area, Governor Roosevelt suggested the building of a bridge across the Seaway to improve communication between New York State and Ontario. The bridge opened for traffic 50 years ago on September 21, 1960. [7]
In 1976, the first building opened in Commerce Park, a light industrial park developed by the Ogdensburg Bridge & Port Authority. Numerous Canadian-based firms have located in this park as trade between Canada and the United States continues to be fundamental to the expansion of Ogdensburg. [8]

Walking the crescent along the #Oswegatchie #River Ogdensburg, NY #history #culture #traveling #walk
Walking the crescent along the Oswegatchie River, Ogdensburg, NY
I was in Ogdensburg and decided to walk down by what’s known as the crescent along the Oswegatchie River. I remembered it as a tree line path with shade all times of the day and a nice walk where you could talk to the fisherman of what they were catching. I started the walk by the old 1858 armory, now law offices. I walked down Mechanic St. to the old power station. It was a nice memory; people were fishing but the crescent was under construction. It was still a nice walk, no shade but a nice walk. People were fishing and I decided to go up the stairs by the post office, got to the top and the stairs were blocked. No sign at the bottom, a walk back was necessary. My relatives in the area said the crescent was closed and no one was supposed to be there. City of Ogdensburg, a sign would have been nice and BTW, the gate at the top of the hill on Mechanic St. was open, with cars parked by the old station. I will say this, the crescent will be beautiful when finished.
The Oswegatchie River (Mohawk: Kaniatarahòn:tsi) begins from five minor flows in the Adirondack’s Five Ponds Wilderness Area, the River winds for 132 miles through St. Lawrence County before entering the St. Lawrence River at Ogdensburg. Oswegatchie is a native term meaning: GOING AROUND A HILL. [1]
The 35-mile section from Newton Falls to Hailesboro has a 970-foot drop in elevation. For the most part, anglers seeking warm water species are in the 67-mile segment of the river from Hailesboro to Ogdensburg. Fishing is good for walleyes, smallmouths, northern pike, and panfish. The free DEC brochure, “Fishing/Canoeing the Oswegatchie River” will help anglers in planning trips. [2]
The Oswegatchie Pumping Station was built in 1868 of random ashlar limestone. It is a two-story fortress like building which features connected tower projections at each of its four corners. [3]

A trip down Main Street, Massena, NY
The township of Massena was officially created by Legislature on March 3, 1802. However, its first settlement is dated back in 1792 when Frenchmen came up the St. Lawrence River from Montreal in search of lumber for shipbuilding.
This sawmill was erected in 1792, and the site is now occupied by a stone house built by Captain Haskell in 1825. However, Massena did not have its official name until that day in 1802, despite the traffic that ran through it for the lumber. Prior to the town name of Massena, Mohawk Indians called the Massena settlement Nikentsiake, which with its meaning of “where the fish live”, lead many to assume that the once barren grounds of Massena were great for fishing along the St. Lawrence River.[1]
This official Legislature date means Massena is estimated to be about 215 years old now in 2017. Massena is named after André Masséna, a military commander under Napoleon Bonaparte and hero of the Battle of Rivoli (a key victory for the French against Austria), who was never actually directly involved with the United States.[2] In fact, he probably had no idea the town was even honored in his name.[3]
