"The Valley - Return to Onondaga Hollow
The land had previously been settled by the Onondagas, the Keepers of the Central Fire of the Haudenosaunee (“Iroquois Confederacy”), still our good neighbors of the Onondaga Nation today."
"“The Valley” is what we who live here call our homeplace within the City of Syracuse. We are perhaps the oldest, as well as the youngest part of the City. The Valley is also a state of mind."
"1788 First settled as “Onondaga Hollow.”
1795 Where the present Salina Street and Seneca Turnpike cross was the region’s main intersection.
1849 Our name was officially changed to “Onondaga Valley.”
1840s - 1940s “The Valley” was a summer haven for folks from Syracuse. Onondaga Creek, the meadows and woods along its banks, and the ravine known as “Hopper’s Glen” were popular spots. Hotels and boarding houses flourished. The Valley Opera House was the venue for stage shows. Houses of this period still occupied include: Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, Italianate, Cobblestone, Victorian, Queen Anne, Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, Art Deco – even mail order Sears houses.
1926 The Valley was annexed to the city a few months after Eastwood.
1950s - onward Second and third generation families have returned to the Valley to enjoy the continuing quality of life."
