Skaneateles, Town beside Skaneateles Lake in Onondaga County, United States.
Located in the Eastern Finger Lakes region, Skaneateles spans over 48 square miles of land and water at 266 meters above sea level.
The town, established in 1830 from parts of Marcellus, played a role in the Underground Railroad with an active Quaker community before the Civil War.
The name originates from an Iroquois term meaning 'long lake', reflecting the deep connection between Native American heritage and the natural landscape.
The town center contains numerous shops and dining establishments, while the surrounding area offers opportunities for boating, fishing, and outdoor activities.
An experimental community operated a large farm between 1843 and 1846, running small industries based on non-traditional social practices of that period.
