A little about Pulaski...

Pulaski is a village in Oswego County, New York, USA. The population was 2,398 at the 2000 census.

The Village of Pulaski is within the Town of Richland, and lies between the eastern shore of Lake Ontario and the Tug Hill region. The village is located on US Route 11 and is adjacent to Interstate 81. Pulaski was incorporated on April 26, 1832. Although the village takes its name after General Casimir Pulaski (pronounced puh-LAS'-kee), area residents have traditionally pronounced Pulaski with a long "i" (puh-LAS'-keye).

Pulaski lies in the Snowbelt which is characterized by heavy amounts of lake effect snow. It has a regional reputation for its heavy snow accumulations and adverse traveling conditions in winter, and for the long duration of winter conditions, often from mid-November through mid-April.

Commerce in Pulaski revolves heavily around fishing tourism. It is located on the Salmon River (actually on one of the 3 Salmon Rivers emptying into the eastern end of Lake Ontario), which is named for the salmon which, each fall, return to the river during the salmon run. The area is a major draw for sportfishing, as is Lake Ontario, the shore of which is three miles to the west. Fishing season culminates in the fall with the Salmon River Festival, held each year at the site of the farmers' market.

Pulaski is also located on an extensive snowmobile trail system which connects to other trail systems throughout central and northern New York. This results in a growing amount of winter tourism as the trail system grows in reputation; this is helped by the reliable snowfall in the area, particularly throughout the Tug Hill region.

Summer tourism is also strong in the Pulaski area because of its proximity to Lake Ontario and its numerous seasonal activities, residences, parks, and resorts. Due to its location on Interstate 81, the Pulaski area benefits from being a primary access point for the Lake Ontario and Tug Hill recreational tourists from the south.
