A Look Back at Cicero’s Historic Businesses

Long before Cicero became the growing community we know today, local businesses played an important role in shaping the town and supporting the families who lived here. Many of these businesses were closely connected to the area’s agricultural roots.

Among Cicero’s historic businesses were the Cicero Canning Factory, Loomis Cheese Factory, and Cicero Cheese Factory.

🥫 The Cicero Canning Factory was part of an era when local agriculture was a major part of the community. Canning factories provided an important connection between area farms and consumers, processing locally grown crops and creating jobs for residents.

🧀 The Loomis Cheese Factory reflected Cicero’s strong dairy-farming heritage. Small cheese factories were once common throughout Central New York, allowing local farmers to bring their milk to nearby facilities where it was made into cheese.

🧀 The Cicero Cheese Factory was another part of that agricultural tradition, serving local dairy farmers and contributing to the rural economy that helped define Cicero in earlier generations.

While these businesses are no longer part of our community, their stories offer a glimpse into Cicero’s agricultural and entrepreneurial past. They remind us how much our town has changed—and how the hard work of earlier generations helped build the community we enjoy today.

Honoring Women’s Suffrage Day: Remembering a Cicero Pioneer
Today, we recognize Women’s Suffrage Day and remember Matilda Joslyn Gage, a nationally known leader in the women’s suffrage movement with important roots in Cicero.
Matilda was raised in a family committed to freedom and equality. Her father, Dr. Hezekiah Joslyn, was an abolitionist who came to Cicero in 1823 and opened his medical practice here. His beliefs helped shape Matilda’s lifelong commitment to reform and equality.
As the women’s suffrage movement grew following the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, Matilda became one of its most dedicated and influential leaders, working alongside Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton to secure women’s right to vote.
The 19th Amendment, which passed in 1920, was an important milestone, but it did not guarantee all women equal access to vote. African American women continued to face discriminatory laws and practices that restricted their voting rights, until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which provided federal protections against these barriers.
On Women’s Suffrage Day, the Town of Cicero proudly honors Matilda Joslyn Gage and her contributions to women’s suffrage and equality.
We honor Matilda and the many women whose courage helped change American history.
