Everything about The Oneida Carry totally explained
The
Oneida Carry was a
portage route between the
Mohawk River and
Wood Creek, used in
Colonial America (
1565-
1776). The carry was one of the important
trade routes between
Albany, New York and the
Oneida Lake. In colonial times,
Britain,
France, and other European nations depended on trade with
Native Americans and trade routes were important
. In
1756, two
wooden
palisades at both ends of the carry were attacked by the French,
thus starting the
French and Indian War.
Native American's name for this area is Deo-Wain-Sta or "The Great Carrying Place"
,
it may also be known as the
Oneida Carrying Place in some references.
The Oneida Carry was located where the city of
Rome, New York is now located.
The British built Forts Williams, Newport, and
Bull to protect this key portage in
1755. The French carried out a destructive raid on Fort Bull in
1756. Fort Bull was then replaced with Fort Wood Creek, and Fort Craven was started to replace Fort Williams. After the French took the
Oswego Forts, these forts were destroyed and the British withdrew further from the areas east of Oneida Lake.
The British later returned to the Oneida Carry area and built
Fort StanwixFurther Information
