| History The Village of Clyde has its roots as an Erie Canal town, for the canal provided the initial means for industry to become the driving force behind the village's early growth. Many of these industries set Clyde apart from other small upstate New York communities. A unique glass works factory and a manufacturer who developed the first typewriter are only a few of Clyde's early industrial gems. Later, the development of the railroad provided for industry as well, resulting in such businesses as a large canning factory. The railroad also provided a means of transportation for out of town jobs in cities like Syracuse and Rochester. Today, Clyde looks anxiously to the future to complete the next link in the village's history and we hope you will be a part of it. Over the past two hundred years and through all these dynamics one thing has remained constant in the Village of Clyde, it has remained a small village. A village where the air is clean, the surroundings are scenic and quaint, the neighbors are friendly, and the housing is affordable. |
