Located on the Seneca River, Baldwinsville is a village in the towns of Lysander and Van Buren in Onondaga County. The Seneca River flows through the village, through the historic downtown area, and forms a section of the Erie Canal.
Baldwinsville was incorporated in 1848 and named after Dr. Jonas Baldwin, who built a dam across the Seneca River to generate energy and a private canal to keep the integrity of the water highway. It initially grew as a local center for a prosperous farming area, with numerous mills along the north and south shores of the Seneca River. In addition to agriculture, Baldwinsville had small factories including Anheuser-Busch. As agriculture and industry have receded, Baldwinsville has evolved into an attractive riverside community.
Baldwinsville's major school district is Baldwinsville Central School District. Other school districts that cover this area include Liverpool Central School District, Phoenix Central School District, and Cato-Meridian Central School District. There are two parochial schools also located there including Baldwinsville Christian Academy, a private Christian school, which is located just outside the village on Van Buren Rd.
