It lies 7.1 miles north of Clay, NY (from Clay, NY: bearing 11°T), and is situated 7.8 miles north of Cicero. The landscape here is a study in soft edges, where fields of corn and soybeans stretch to meet the horizon, their emerald and gold hues shifting with the passing sun. Occasional stands of deciduous trees, their branches reaching like gnarled fingers towards the often-grey sky, punctuate the open spaces, offering brief, welcome shade. The air, especially in the early morning, carries the clean, damp scent of turned earth and distant pine, a testament to the agricultural heart of Oswego County that beats strongly here. Even on a clear day, a certain softness pervades the light, as if the sky itself is a vast, diffused diffuser, lending a gentle quality to the scene. The history of Central Square is inextricably linked to the development of its surrounding agriculture and the modest industries that have sustained it. Early settlers found fertile ground, and the area quickly became a producer of grains and dairy, a legacy still evident in the weathered barns and the quiet industry of local farms. Later, the advent of smaller manufacturing, often focused on agricultural equipment or specialized components, provided livelihoods and shaped the character of the community, a character that remains pragmatic and hardworking. While no grand monuments mark its past, the sturdy brick buildings downtown and the well-maintained homes speak of generations who built their lives here, their quiet persistence etched into the very rhythm of Central Square.
