Until the Far West side neighborhood of Syracuse joined the city in 1886 it was known as the Village of Geddes. It was until that year the largest community in the town of Geddes with many homes and businesses.Its residents voted to join the city because Syracuse had a paid professional police department, a paid professional fire department and the city was about to get an excellent water supply from Skaneateles Lake. When the village of Geddes joined the city Major Burnet gave a large hill top plot of land to Syracuse now known as Burnet Park with the condition that the city spend $6,000. to build roads and plant trees in this new city park. The city did such a good job that in 1887 Burnet gave the city an additional plot of land known as the oak grove, which is still full of oak trees, on the corner of Avery Ave. and Whittier Ave.
