Tipperary Hill Post 1361 - Syracuse, New York - Legion Posts and Branches on Waymarking.com

To the west of the Syracuse’s Downtown the land rises up to a spot called Tipperary Hill. It was here on this hill that perhaps the first Irish community to live in the City settled. In the 1820s, after helping construct the Erie Canal, many of these Irish men and women settled on this hill, overlooking the new canal. The name “Tipperary” comes from County of Tipperary in southern Ireland, where many of these immigrants were said to have originated from.

Green light on top, as it should be, in this deeply Irish neighborhood! The Tipperary Hill American Legion does their part for the community by getting involved in local events that boost the community spirit.
