    Utica is the seat of Oneida County, [wiki=4692a7a2757984125aa1e7f78462fe43]NY[/wiki]. Currently, the city proper has approximately 60,000 residents and the urban area has approximately 120,000 residents. This site was originally a Mohawk settlement and the name Unundadages is visible on the city seal. In 1758 amidst the theatre of the French-&-Indian War, the British established here the Old Fort Schuyler and would eventually push out the local Iroquoian Oneida tribe to allow further settlement by New Englanders. The city is located along the Mohawk River and Erie Canal, as part of the New York Canal System. The canal system initially prompted further growth in the region and today several major trasportation networks transect the area such as the New York State Railroad and the New York State Thru-way.

    The city's name is eponymous to the former Phoenician city of Utica, located in present-day Tunisia, northern Africa. The name Utica translates as "Old Town" and was known as the first Phoenician settlement of what is now known as the African continent. Utica's name contrasts with that of Carthage which translates as "New Town." Later, following the unrecoverable defeat of Carthage by Rome in the Third Punic War, the Phoenician city of Utica became the capital of the newly-created Roman province of Africa.

    Historically an industrial centre and at one time one of the richest cities in the United States, early on it was particularly well-known for textile production. Today however, textile production has since declined and the city has since become better known for industrial processes. In recent years, large-scale development of microchip production plants have been underway alongside other new businesses in the area.

    A few interesting facts: Utica holds the Guinness World Record for "Biggest Doughnut," a monster 1.5-ton jelly doughnut prepared in 1993 by local bakeries and a local radio station. It has also appeared in the movies, as the setting for "Drums Along the Mohawk" (1939) and a filming location for "Slap Shot" (1977). Utica is the home of Half-moon cookies, Utica Greens and Chicken Riggies; and well-known actress/Mouseketeer Annette Funicello was born in Utica.

    Utica is in the Eastern Standard time zone, and is located at latitude 43.100N, longitude -75.233W.
