It was in April 1904, that Thomas R. Proctor made his first purchase of lands on what has come to be known as the Parkway. He purchased one farm after another until the total acreage contained about 380 acres.

Thomas F. Baker and his brother, William T. Baker, rented two small rooms on the third floor of the Thomas Building on Bleecker Street. There they issued the first number of the “Utica Saturday Globe” on May 21, 1881.

When talk of building a canal from the Hudson River to Lake Erie via the Mohawk Valley began in earnest, in about 1810, many powerful politicians opposed the project.

The 26,674 acres comprising the existing Town of Westmoreland were originally part of Coxe's Patent and the Oneida Indian Reservation under the Treaty of 1788.
