Charity in New York State in 1906: Cayuga County.  We are in the process of republishing sections of volume II of the Annual Report of the State Board of Charities for the year 1906.  The material will be of interest to local historians who wish a better picture of charitable institutions in their locale a century ago, to genealogists and family historians interested in the people who administered charity back then as well as how any unfortunates housed in these facilities may have lived, and to those who have questions about the now-politicized "safety net" for the unfortunates in our society back in those years.  This section addresses the public and private charities in Cayuga County in 1906 that were registered with the State Board of Charities. 7++ pages, in PDF format, download now for $2.50.

Cayuga County was separated from Onondaga County in 1799.  You may also want to consult our Onondaga County page for locations that may have been affected by this transaction.

Cayuga County was subsequently divided to form, first, Seneca County, and then divided again to form (with a portion of Seneca County), Tompkins County.  You may want to visit those county pages for additional information.
