Ickemissade

Ickemissade is a small, unincorporated community located in St. Lawrence County, New York. It is situated in the town of DeKalb, approximately 10 miles east of Canton. The area is primarily agricultural and rural in nature.

Historically, Ickemissade was a localized settlement that grew around the agricultural needs of the surrounding farms. Like many rural hamlets in northern New York, its development was tied to the establishment of farms and the need for local services, though it never developed into a significant town. Information on its exact founding date or prominent historical figures is scarce, as it remained a very small settlement without extensive historical documentation.

The geography of Ickemissade is characterized by rolling farmland and wooded areas, typical of the St. Lawrence River Valley region. The climate is continental, with cold, snowy winters and warm summers. The local economy relies heavily on dairy farming and other agricultural activities.

As an unincorporated community, Ickemissade does not have its own municipal government. Services such as policing, fire protection, and road maintenance are typically provided by the larger town of DeKalb or St. Lawrence County. The residents of Ickemissade are served by the postal code associated with nearby larger towns, and most residents would likely identify with a nearby town for their primary services and community affiliation.
