| About Syracuse:Greater Syracuse is a nexus for the movement of goods and people along the north-south and east-west axes of many transportation routes in the Northeast. Located in the center of New York on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, the Syracuse Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) is a 3,083-square-mile land area composed of four counties Cayuga, Madison, Onondaga and Oswego.
The City of Syracuse, located in Onondaga County, is the region' s major metropolitan center. It has been appropriately called the Crossroads of New York State, due to its central location and the fact the State's two major interstate routes the east-west New York State Thruway (Interstate 90) and north-south Interstate 81 intersect here. In addition to Syracuse, the principal population centers of the MSA are cities of Oswego and Fulton in Oswego County, Oneida in Madison County and Auburn in Cayuga County.
