The design was created to commemorate the 175th anniversary
of the founding of the Village on April 20, 1830. Pictured on the
emblem is a salt barrel, depicting the salt boiling kettles that filled
the Onondaga Lake shoreline from Bloody Brook to Balsam Street. By
1811, 36 Liverpool salt manufacturers produced 20,000 to 30,000 bushels
annually. Salt was shipped by bateaux to Oswego Falls, then overland
to Oswego and the Great Lakes, or by oxcart to other communities along
rural salt roads. ( Description by Dorianne Gutierrez; design by Margaret
Casale.)
This chapter shall take effect upon filing with the Secretary
of State.
