State NEW YORK UTICA (regional info) BEST WESTERN GATEWAY INN CLARION COLLECTION RADISSON HOTEL UTICA CENTRE RED ROOF INN UTICA Super 8 Utica Ny Utica is a city in the American state of New York, and the county seat of Oneida County. The City of Utica is situated within the region referred to as the Mohawk Valley and the Leatherstocking Region in Central New York State. Utica has an extensive park system, with winter and summer sports facilities. Utica and the neighboring city of Rome are principal cities of the Utica–Rome, New York Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Oneida and Herkimer counties. Like many industrial towns and cities in the northeastern Rust Belt, Utica has experienced a major reduction in manufacturing activity in the past several decades, and is in serious financial trouble; many public services have been curtailed to save money. Suburbs in Utica have begun to experience suburban sprawl; this is common in many Upstate New York cities, which are suffering from what the Sierra Club termed "sprawl without growth," although recently notable efforts have been made to revitalize the Downtown and Oneida Square areas of Utica by planning the construction of quality apartment housing. The arrival of a large number of Bosnian immigrants over the past several years has stanched a population loss that had been steady for more than three decades. Bosnian immigrants now constitute about 10% of the total population of Utica. The city's economy is heavily dependent on commercial growth in its suburbs, a trend that is characterized by development of green sites in neighboring villages and does little to revitalize the city itself. Utica was first settled in 1773, on the site of Fort Schuyler which was built in 1758 and abandoned after the French and Indian War. The city's name was said to have been picked out of a hat; it is named after Utica, Tunisia. read full wikipedia reference about Utica, New York OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN NEW YORKAlbany Amherst Auburn Batavia Binghamton Buffalo Chautauqua Cheektowaga Chestertown Corning Diamond Point East Hampton Elmira Greenport Greenville Hicksville Horseheads Hyde Park Ithaca Jamaica Lake George Lake Luzerne Lake Placid Latham Liverpool Middletown Newburgh New York City Niagara Falls North Creek Painted Post Plattsburgh Poughkeepsie Queens Rhinebeck Rochester Saratoga Springs Schenectady Schroon Lake Shelter Island Skaneateles Southampton Syracuse Tarrytown Utica Warrensburg Warwick Watertown Westfield Westhampton Westport White Plains Williamsville Wilmington Windham Woodstock |
