About this city
Manlius is a historic, affluent suburban township positioned flatly within the rolling hills and dense mixed hardwood forests of Onondaga County, forming a premier southeastern pillar of the Syracuse metropolitan area. Incorporated meticulously in 1813, the town blossomed early as an essential shipping depot and water-powered manufacturing hub along the historic Erie Canal infrastructure. Today, Manlius expertly pairs high-wealth executive residential estates with progressive public education systems, pristine natural limestone water conservation parks, and a beautifully preserved village core.
