Sitting at the mouth of the Oswego River on Lake Ontario's southeastern shore, this upstate New York city has built its identity around the water since a British trading post was established here in 1722. Fort Ontario, which served as the only Jewish refugee camp in the United States during World War II, remains a significant historical site. Oswego Speedway draws motorsport fans nationally, and SUNY Oswego anchors the local cultural scene on the lakeshore just outside the city.
