"In the early 1800’s the circuit-riding ministers who traveled from Cortland to Oswego used to rest at a tavern north of Camillus. Being weary from their journey, the clergy used to imbibe a 'swig of bitters.' The small town soon became known as Swago Bitters, thence Oswego Bitters."(from "Lore from the Military Tract: Camillus, Onondaga County" by Marilyn MacDonald)
