  • City of Ithaca Jane Marsh Dieckmann City of Ithaca Historian
    City of Ithaca Jane Marsh Dieckmann City of Ithaca Historian Ithaca grew up at the head of Cayuga Lake and was called the Flats be- cause of its location at the foot of three hills. Its early reputation as a rough and rowdy place led to the name of Sodom after the Biblical city of ill repute. Somewhat later, because of the unusual growth of shade trees, some wanted to call it Forest City. The official name Ithaca was provided by Simeon DeWitt, surveyor general of New York State, an important landowner in the new settlement, and student of the clas- sics. Thus he gave the chief community in the Town of Ulysses the name Ithaca for the Greek island Ithaki, home of the hero Odysseus, whose Roman name is Ulysses. DeWitt surveyed 49 lots, which he indicated on his 1807 Map of Ithaca. The only street names he gave were Aurora and Tioga (for a destination or direction), and Seneca (for an Indian tribe), Buell (to honor silversmith and typographer Abel Buell, who engraved and printed the first map of the United States in 1784; by 1836 this street was called Buffalo), and Mill for the mill on nearby Cascadilla Creek. When Tompkins County was formed in 1817, Ithaca was designated the county seat. It was incorporated as a village in 1821, and chartered as a city in 1888, when it became a separate municipality. Abbott Lane is named for Bruce Abbott, developer of West Hill Ter- race, a subsidized housing project that opened in 1972. 61 62 City of Ithaca Adams Street.
