   The City of Utica, the county seat of Oneida County, is surrounded by the beautiful rolling hills of the Mohawk Valley in the heart of New York State.  It is situated on the Mohawk River and the historic Erie Canal, 85 miles northwest of Albany, the state's capitol.  Utica today, a city of some 60,000 people, is known as the western gateway to the Adirondack Mountains.  One of Utica's most prominent attractions is the internationally acclaimed Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute Museum of Art.  The city is also known for its excellent educational, healthcare, and technical facilities.  

Historically, a settlement was established on the site of the present city in 1772, but was destroyed by the British and Indians during the American Revolution.  The first permanent settlement, established on the site of old Fort Schuyler, was developed as an industrial center after the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825.  Utica was incorporated as a Village in 1798 and as a City in 1832.
