Pompey Historical Society

The Township of Pompey was named after the Roman general and statesman Pompey and was established by the Commissioners of the Land Office in New York City on July 3, 1790.

 

In 1794, Onondaga County was formed and the four founding towns included Lysander, Manlius, Marcellus, and Pompey.
