The Oneida County Historical Society launched the Historical Hall of Fame in 1946, honoring five historic figures. For five years the Society inducted local people of note into the Hall of Fame before the practice was discontinued.

The Society’s Board of Trustees in the year 2000 moved to correct that nearly 50-year lapse, resurrecting the Hall of Fame with the intent of inducting a class of five honorees in 2001. To accomplish that, the Society solicited nominations from the county’s historians as well as the community at large, and empanelled a Blue Ribbon Selection Committee to review the top nominees.
