mohawk river
rome was founded along an ancient native american portage path known as the "oneida carrying place", "deo-wain-sta", or "the great carrying place" to the six nations (iroquois), or the "haudenosaunee" in their language. these names refer to a portage road or path between the mohawk river to the east, which flows east to the hudson river; and wood creek to the west, which flows into lake ontario. now located within the modern rome city limits, this short portage path was the only overland section of a water trade route stretching more than 1,000 miles between lake ontario and the lower hudson. travelers and traders coming up the mohawk river from the hudson had to transfer their cargo and boats and transport them overland between 1.7 and six miles (depending on the season) to continue west on wood creek to lake ontario. this ancient trade route joined the great lakes and canada via the mohawk river to the hudson river and the atlantic ocean.
