Two Truths and a Lie

Syracuse, NY

Two of these are true. One we made up. Tap the lie.

1. 1

   Before it was called Syracuse, the settlement was known as Corinth, but a post office rejected that name in 1820.

2. 2

   Syracuse's Erie Canal boom led the state to name it the capital of New York in 1825, a title it held for two years.

3. 3

   Syracuse averages 127.8 inches of snow a year, making it the snowiest city in America, per NOAA's 1991-2020 data.
