On July 18, 1846, the United States' first plank road opened in North Syracuse, primarily for salt transportation.

The road cost $23,000, was 16-1/2 miles long, and was planked its entire length.

Thomas Alvord, a state legislator who later became lieutenant governor, helped secure the passage of an act to construct, maintain and collect tolls.

Due to wear and tear by horses' shoes and iron hoops on wagon wheels, a gang was constantly busy just making repairs.

North Syracuse was also the first New York State village to have its own fire district.
