The history of Watertown, a city in Jefferson County, New York, can be traced to the purchase of Upstate New York by Alexander Macomb, leading to a settlement east of Lake Ontario in the early 19th century. The area had seen human occupation since at least the second glacial period, but significant change into what is now known as Watertown did not occur until the beginning of the Machine Age. The city, which was incorporated in 1869, had expanded primarily through trade with Canada. The city destroyed many factories and historical buildings in the 1960s, which began a steady decline in population, from 33,306 in 1960 to 24,685 in 2020, a loss of 26%.
