The Camillus area has much of interest both from a historical and a recreational point of view.

History:
Founded on March 8, 1799, the Town of Camillus is named after the Roman general Marcus Furius Camillus and is the only Town in the United States to bear that name. The Town of Camillus occupies nearly 35 square miles of land, which includes Fairmount, Amboy-Belle Isle, Warners, and the Village of Camillus. A fire in 1829 destroyed the records of the first 20 years of the Town of Camillus' history.
