In the 18th century, European settlers began to arrive in the area. In 1798, Oneida County was formed as one of the original counties of New York State. The county's primary economic activities during this time were farming, logging, and trade. Large-scale commercial operations, such as mills and factories, started to emerge in the early 19th century, thanks to the establishment of the Erie Canal, which connected the region to major markets.
During the American Revolutionary War, Oneida County played a significant role. The Oneida Indian Nation provided support to the American forces and were valued allies in the fight against the British. After the war, the county experienced significant growth and development, with new towns and cities being established.

The region became a major center for manufacturing, especially in industries like textiles, steel, and electronics.

Today, Oneida County is known for its rich history, natural beauty, and diverse economy. It is home to several educational institutions, including Utica College and Hamilton College.
