It was due to the shallow sea that is in north western NY, where Lake Ontario is.

In Rochester, NY, the gypsum and salt deposits were made in the Cenozoic sedimentation period.
The thick salt deposits found in the bedrock in some locations in New York State were formed through the process of evaporation of ancient seas that once covered the region. Over millions of years, as these seas evaporated, the salt minerals precipitated out and accumulated to form the thick salt deposits that we see today.
Vermont was formed at the 14th State from land claimed by both New York and New Hampshire. Vermont is the state that was formed out of territory that was once part of New York State. Today, Vermont has an estimated population of 626,630.

Syracuse
The thick salt deposits found in the bedrock at some locations in New York State were formed by the evaporation of ancient seas that once covered the region. Over time, as the seawater evaporated, it left behind layers of salt that eventually solidified into the thick deposits we see today.
Syracuse
The salt deposits in Syracuse, New York, were formed from the evaporation of seawater during the Devonian Period around 400 million years ago. In Detroit, Michigan, the salt deposits were formed from the evaporation of seawater in the Michigan Basin during the Silurian Period around 400-425 million years ago. This process left behind layers of salt that eventually became the salt deposits found in these locations today.
