Pulaski, New York Pulaski is a village in Oswego County, New York, United States. The population was 2,398 at the 2000 census.The Village of Pulaski is within the Town of Richland, and lies between the eastern shore of Lake Ontario and the Tug Hill region. The village is located on US Route 11 and is adjacent to Interstate 81. Pulaski was incorporated on April 26, 1832. Although the village takes its name after General Casimir Pulaski (pronounced /pəˈlæski/), area residents have traditionally pronounced Pulaski with a long 'i' (/pəˈlæs.kaɪ/), saying Pol-a-SKY rather than Pol-a-SKEE.. The historic core of the village was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 as the Pulaski Village Historic District.Pulaski lies in the Snowbelt which is characterized by heavy amounts of lake effect snow. It has a regional reputation for its heavy snow accumulations and adverse traveling conditions in winter, and for the long duration of winter conditions, often from mid-November through mid-April. 'History' Pulaski history shows that during the early years before incorporation on April 26, 1832 the village was called by a couple different names. It was once called “Fishville” and sometimes it was called “Salmon River”. It was also stated that the name “Pulaski” was often spelled “Polaski”. It was also used for years with the spelling of Polaski from “The Palladium Times” to official state documents.Mary Parker the local Historian offered these two possibilities in a article titled “Name Selection A Mystery”. One of which she says is the most credible is in 1829, three years before in incorporation “Thomas C. Baker a prominent lawyer, liberal, abolitionist, and leading citizen had proposed the name at a meeting.” One other story states that “Revolutionary War heroes put names in a hat and the name Casmir Pulaski had been pulled'. As Mary Parker says one or both may not be true but local historians are researching how the name was picked.In October 1816 the first court of Oswego County was held in Oswego, when a number of people presented themselves and were admitted to the bar, thus being the only business transacted. However in February, 1817 the first jury was selected for court was convened in Pulaski. It was only three years after the first court was held in Oswego County was there a court house erected in Pulaski.A few miles to the west from the village of Pulaski at the mouth of the Salmon River harbored a lighthouse. In the 1830s the government engineers determined that the mouth had sufficient depth that it could harbor thirty ships. So in August 1838 the lighthouse was inaugurated. The lamp originally ran on whale oil. Do to the lack of importance of the harbor it was deactivated 1858. In 1989 a Coast Guard Class II navigation aid was installed and was reactivated. It was placed on the National Registry of Historic places in March 1979.“In 1853 the citizens of the village became interested in the education of their children and youth. An act of legislature was passed to consolidate parts of three school districts within the village into one”. There on after it was the “Pulaski school district”. This enabled the school to be go by the name “Pulaski Academy”. Now there is the Laura Sharp Elementary School and the Pulaski Middle and Jr./Sr. High School.In the early hours of October 6, 1881 in a bakery in the back of M.L. Hollis store a fire started. In just over three hours the whole business portion of Pulaski was destroyed by the fire. Reason it took so little time to burn was because of the buildings built of wood and the fire stations facilities were inadequate to hold the fire in check.From the 1840s to the present there have been many factories. With the village laying on the banks of the Salmon River it was a major asset in its development. “There have been at least hundred and twenty factories” come and go.

Fulton Companies, Healthway, and Schoeller Technical Paper are the only remaining bigger companies in Pulaski.
