Oneida Carry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
