Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in De Witt, NY

DeWitt is a town in Onondaga County, New York, and an eastern suburb of Syracuse, with a population of 26,074 at the 2020 census; the De Witt census-designated place inside the town had 11,247 residents.

The town was formed in 1835 from the Town of Manlius and named in honor of Major Moses DeWitt, a militia officer, county judge, and one of the first settlers of the county, whose first neighbors arrived around 1789 in what was then the Central New York Military Tract.

The original Erie Canal was dug through DeWitt in 1825, and the town contains the western end of the Old Erie Canal State Historic Park, a 36-mile preserved stretch of the canal's Long Level section in use from 1825 to 1917.

Most of the campus and all of the academic buildings of Le Moyne College are in DeWitt: the private Jesuit college was founded in 1946 on a 160-acre campus and was the first Jesuit college founded as a coeducational institution.

Clark Reservation State Park, a 377-acre park in the southern part of DeWitt near Jamesville, preserves a fossil Ice Age waterfall and Glacier Lake, a rare meromictic lake in its plunge basin, and it harbors the largest population in the United States of the endangered American hart's-tongue fern.

Clark Reservation became a state park in 1926 after Mary Clark Thompson bought the land in 1915 and gave it to the state as a memorial to her father, former New York governor Myron H. Clark.

Butternut Creek flows through DeWitt from the Jamesville Reservoir, passing under the Erie Canal on its way to Limestone Creek, Chittenango Creek, and ultimately Oneida Lake.

The section of the old canal running through DeWitt lies within the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, and town parks such as Ryder Park and Cedar Bay Park preserve canal-era land along Butternut Creek.
