Salt That Named a City

Syracuse was known as Salt City for the brine springs around Onondaga Lake, which at one point supplied a large share of the salt used in the United States. Production peaked in the 1860s and ended in 1926.

Syracuse lies at 76.1°W. Its time zone, UTC−5, is built around the 75°W meridian. The 1.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 5 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:05 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 65 minutes and pushing solar noon to 13:05.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 15h 22m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h. The swing between them is 6h 22m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Syracuse the sun comes up earliest on 16 June at 05:24, while the latest sunset waits until 28 June at 20:48. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Syracuse that civil twilight runs about 28 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 35 minutes at the solstice.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
