History & geography

History

Pulaski history shows that during the early years before incorporation on April 26, 1832, the village was known by various other names. It was once called “Fishville” and sometimes it was called “Salmon River”. It was also stated that the name “Pulaski” was often spelled “Polaski”. It was also used for years with the spelling of Polaski from The Palladium Times to official state documents. Another story indicates that the name was chosen when Revolutionary War heroes put names in a hat and pulled the name of Casimir Pulaski. It was only three years after the first court was held in Oswego County was there a court house erected in Pulaski. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in March 1979. “In 1853 the citizens of the village became interested in the education of their children and youth. An act of legislature was passed to consolidate parts of three school districts within the village into one”. It was called the “Pulaski school district” and the school was named “Pulaski Academy”. In the early hours of October 6, 1881, in a bakery in the back of M.L. Hollis store a fire started. In just over three hours the whole business portion of Pulaski was destroyed by the fire. The reason it took so little time to burn was because of the buildings structure being built of wood and the fire stations facilities inability to hold the fire in check. From wood mills to iron works, there have been many different factories located in Pulaski. Only a small number of industrial companies now remain, including Fulton Companies, HealthWay, and Schoeller Technical Paper. The Pulaski Village Historic District and Selkirk Lighthouse are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
