Syracuse was settled about 734 BC by Corinthians led by the aristocrat Archias, and the city soon dominated the coastal plain and hill country beyond. The original Greek settlers of the city formed an elite (gamoroi), while the Sicel natives (Siculi) worked the land as an oppressed class. Syracuse is built on an industry of salt, which eventually gave way together means of economic growth. Syracuse is known for its high snowfall and its wins in the Golden snowball award, among upstate cities. Some popular landmarks in Syracuse include; Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Everson Museum of Art, Museum of Science and Technology, Erie Canal Museum, Onondaga Lake, Onondaga Lake Park, and several others.
