Whitesboro is a village in Oneida County, New York, United States. The population was 3,772 at the 2010 census. The village was settled in 1784 and was incorporated in 1813. The abolitionist Oneida Institute was located in Whitesboro from 1827 to 1843. The Whitesboro seal, originating in the early 1900s, displays founder Hugh White wrestling an Oneida Native American. The seal has been controversial because it has been interpreted as a settler choking the Native American; city officials contend it depicts a friendly wrestling match that White won, gaining the respect of the Oneida. In January 2016, the town cooperated with Comedy Central's The Daily Show to hold a non-binding vote for a new village seal. An updated seal was adopted in the summer of 2017. The new seal was created by a communication design student at PrattMWP in Utica, under direction of a professor there. The current seal depicts the same scene as the previous seal, but it moves White's hands down to the oneida chief's upper arms instead of near his neck, and neither man appears to be dominating the other. The Sauquoit Creek forms the boundary with Yorkville. Areas of Whitesboro near the creek suffer from periodic flooding. The older part of the village was bordered by the Erie Canal and the village's Main Street. When the canal was filled in the first half of the 20th century, Oriskany Boulevard was built over the filled-in canal. The Whitestown Town Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

History

Whitesboro began to be settled in 1784, and was incorporated in 1813. An 1851 list gave the name Che-ga-quat-ka for Whitesboro in a language of the Iroquois people. The current version of the seal was created in 1970, after a lawsuit by a Native American group. The seal has been controversial because it has been interpreted as a settler choking the Native American. The town cooperated with Comedy Central's The Daily Show to hold a non-binding vote for a new village seal in January 2016. Village residents voted 157 to 55 to keep the seal as-is. An updated seal was adopted in the summer of 2017. The new seal depicts the same scene as the previous seal, but it moves White's hands down to the Oneida chief's upper arms instead of near his neck, and neither man appears to be dominating the other. Both men were given more realistic skin tones, and their attire was corrected for historical accuracy. It was created by a communication design student at PrattMWP in Utica, under direction of a professor there. The abolitionist Oneida Institute was located in Whitesboro from 1827 to 1843. The older part of the village was bordered by the Erie Canal and the village's Main Street. When the canal was filled in the first half of the 20th century, Oriskany Boulevard was built over the filled-in canal. The Whitestown Town Hall was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It currently serves as the village courthouse.
