The name of the city comes from the Oneida Indians who lived in the area. The word "Oneida" means "people of the living stone" because of a large boulder honored by the locals. Their support of the colonials during the Revolutionary War wasn't enough to keep them around for very long. By 1848, settlers began the city by starting the Oneida Community, a social and religious commune. It was once part of the the Town of Lenox but received a separate city charter in 1901.
