History

In the 17th century, Onondaga people settled a town on the south side of what would later become Manlius. French explorers visited the town around 1654 and described the town as having an earthwork and ringed by walls.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The town was occupied through 1682.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> This site became Indian Hill Memorial Park.

Manlius was a township of the former Central New York Military Tract. Manlius is the name of several important Romans, but exactly which one was being honored is no longer known. The current town was first settled around 1790.

The town of Manlius was founded in 1794, along with Onondaga County, which decreased with the formation of new towns (DeWitt, Onondaga, Salina) and part of Syracuse.

The economy related to trade generated by the Erie Canal contributed to the early development of the town.
