Watertown, County seat in Jefferson County, New York.
Watertown extends across both sides of the Black River, featuring five National Register historic districts with remarkable architectural elements and preserved buildings.
The settlement established in 1800 developed rapidly due to the Black River water power, which enabled the growth of multiple industries and manufacturing facilities.
The Flower Memorial Library and Jefferson County Historical Society maintain extensive collections documenting the region's development through photographs, documents, and artifacts.
Thompson Park provides recreational facilities including tennis courts, walking trails, playgrounds, and cross-country skiing paths accessible throughout different seasons.
