LaFayette is a town in Onondaga County, New York, United States.

The town is named after the Marquis de Lafayette, a key figure in the French and American revolutions, and widely considered a national hero of France and the United States.

The town is located within the former Central New York Military Tract and is partly in an area reserved for members of the Onondaga tribe.

Every year, the town holds an Apple Festival on the Saturday and Sunday before Columbus Day.

[4] This is in part because most of the agricultural land west of the town has historically held apple orchards.

LaFayette has a post office, gas station, optometrists, a McDonald's and a Byrne Dairy.
