The town of Cazenovia was established in 1793 from the towns of Whitestown and Paris (both in Oneida County) before the creation of Madison County. Subsequently, other towns in the county were formed from partitions of its territory. Cazenovia was part of a region called "The Gore", based on a surveying error.

It was founded by John Lincklaen, an agent of the Holland Land Company, and was named after Theophile Cazenove, Lincklaen's supervisor.

Geography

The town is situated along the western edge of Madison County and is bordered to the west by Onondaga County. U.S. Route 20, also known as Albany Street, crosses the town, leading east toward Albany and west toward Auburn.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the town of Cazenovia has a total area of 51.79 square miles (134.1 km2), with 49.94 square miles (129.3 km2) of land and {convert|1.85|sqmi}} of water (3.57%). [1] Cazenovia Lake is in the north-central part of town. Its outlet, at the south end of the lake in the village of Cazenovia, feeds Chittenango Creek, which descends to the north and flows into Oneida Lake, part of the Oswego River watershed leading to Lake Ontario. The southern part of the town is drained by the East Branch of Limestone Creek, which in turn flows north to join Chittenango Creek in the northern part of Manlius.
