It lies between Danby and Jacksonville, along Highway 96.Ithaca was settled in 1789 and named after a Greek island. Cornell University, for which Ithaca is famous, was chartered in 1865. Ithaca was incorporated as a city in 1888. Ithaca College was founded in 1892 as a conservatory of music. Today Ithaca, population 29,287, is well-known as an educational center.
