This small, tight-knit community offers a mix of small-town charm and easy access to nearby city conveniences, making it a unique and historically significant part of upstate New York. Despite its modest size—with a population of 1,291 residents according to the 2020 U.S. Census—Chadwicks is a place defined by its community bonds, regional pride, and evolving identity.

Chadwicks sits in the scenic Mohawk Valley region of Central New York, surrounded by natural beauty and neighboring communities such as Sauquoit, New Hartford, and Utica. Historically, Chadwicks has shared strong ties with the neighboring hamlet of Sauquoit, especially in terms of education—students from Chadwicks currently attend school in the Sauquoit Valley Central School District.
This small but vibrant community is rooted in a tradition of resilience and local pride. Like many areas in upstate New York, Chadwicks grew alongside the region’s agricultural and manufacturing development, contributing to the economic strength of Oneida County. Over the years, it has maintained its identity while adapting to the changes of modern life.
As part of the Utica–Rome metro area, Chadwicks offers its residents a quiet lifestyle with access to regional employers, healthcare services, and recreational opportunities. It's a community where neighbors know each other, families grow roots, and local stories matter.
One of the most widely reported events in Chadwicks’ modern history occurred in 2015 with the tragic death of Lucas Leonard. This heartbreaking event shook the local and national community alike, sparking conversations around abuse, cult behavior, and the importance of mental health and legal protections for vulnerable individuals. The incident took place in a local church and involved members of Leonard’s own family.
While the tragedy does not define Chadwicks as a community, it has had a lasting impact and has highlighted the need for greater awareness, compassion, and legal advocacy in situations involving personal injury and wrongful death. At Sullivan Brill, we take such cases seriously. We believe that no one should suffer in silence, and we are committed to helping victims and their families seek justice when tragedies like this occur.

With convenient access to Route 8 and proximity to larger towns like New Hartford and Utica, Chadwicks strikes a balance between peaceful living and modern connectivity.
The Sauquoit Valley School District plays a vital role in the lives of local families, providing not just education but also serving as a community hub. Community sports, events, and volunteer efforts continue to define the character of Chadwicks, where the values of cooperation and mutual support run deep.
