Tsikahiotsisto

Tsikahiotsisto lies near the western end of Oneida Lake, where its waters enter the Oneida River and continue toward Lake Ontario. The outlet formed part of the water route between the Mohawk valley and Oswego. In 1759, during the French and Indian War, the British built Fort Brewerton there as one of a chain of small posts protecting military traffic along the route. Its earthworks enclosed storehouses beside the lake's outlet.
